Hi,
This is a small question on HTTP protocol that I think Jigsaw is not
implementing correctly.
In RFC 1945, HTTP/1.0 it states for HEAD request:
" There is no 'conditional HEAD' request analogous to the conditional GET.
If an If-Modified-Since header field is included with a HEAD request, it
should be ignored".
The default implementation does not take that into consideration, so a HEAD
request might well end up with NOT_MODIFIED as a responce.
Is that important and deserves fixing and clear statement for everybody
overriding HEAD or it would never break anything and is not worth thinking
about it?
Alex,
