Summary

0001026: Resin does not conform to HTTP spec for HEAD method

Description

According to the RFC 2616:

> The HEAD method is identical to GET except that the server
> MUST NOT return a message-body in the response.

Issuing a HEAD method to a Resin 2 or 3 server always returns the body of the content as well as the headers.

This puts unnecessary load on the network, and makes HEAD calls used by caches inefficient.

Additional Information

$ nc localhost 18080
HEAD http://localhost:18080/foobar [^] HTTP/1.1

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Server: Resin/3.0.17
Content-Type: text/html
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2006 05:10:28 GMT
