Is this what you want? They mention eval as well. You could also rewrite the response so that it returns some status code instead. – Keyser 20 hours ago

That is what duplicates are for; if you search next time, you will find this one, which automatically redirects you to the other one. Don't worry about it. – Martijn Pieters 14 hours ago
