In FileResource.get(), the resource deletes itself if it finds that its file no longer exists. But this doesn't happen in head(). We ran into this because we were attempting to use HEAD to test for the existence of a file on the server. Obviously we should just use GET. But why this difference in behavior? -- Joe Futrelle HTTP Server Development, Joule/Hacksaw Group National Center for Supercomputing Applications futrelle@ncsa.uiuc.edu (217) 265-0296
