What is the meaning of the HTImProxy configuration variable in HTAccess?
Its default value is "NO" and the only comment I can find is "If I'm
cern_httpd as a proxy".
This flag's default value causes my MEHOD_HEAD HTLoadPage request to return
an empty stream. Further debugging shows that in HTLoadHTTP's state machine
the state transition:
case HTTP_SENT_REQUEST: /* Put up stream */
http->target = HTImProxy ? request->output_stream :
HTTPStatus_new(request, http);
http->state = HTTP_NEED_BODY;
break;
uses HTImProxy to select the HTTPStatus_new stream rather than the desired
request->output_stream. The HTTPStatus stream then eats the HTML header
information (as it should for the GET method, but not the HEAD method).
Thanks in advance for any input.
