offers two ....


* :method:`Symfony\\Component\\HttpFoundation\\Request::preferSafeContent`;
* :method:`Symfony\\Component\\HttpFoundation\\Response::setContentSafe`;

When the user agent prefers "safe" content, you can detect it and send it a more appropriate
reponse::

if ($request->preferSafeContent()) {
$response = new Response($alternativeContent);
$response->setContentSafe(); // Inform the user we respected their preferences

return $response;
}

.. note::

The RFC 8674 does not define a precise semantic for "safe". Rather, the term is interpreted
by the server and within the scope of each web site that chooses to act upon this information.
