http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18757 Content-Length is removed from replies to HEAD requests Summary: Content-Length is removed from replies to HEAD requests Product: Apache httpd-2.0 Version: 2.0.45 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] When a HEAD request is issued to Apache 2.0.45 (or earlier) configured as a proxy, the reply is missing the Content-Length header. The problem is not really in the proxy but in the CONTENT_LENGTH filter, which sets the Content-Length to zero (because the HEAD reply has no body). Then later in the HEADER filter a Content-Length header is removed if the length is zero. I believe the CONTENT_LENGTH filter should not touch the existing Content-Length header if the request is a HEAD request. This is a critical problem because it makes Windows boxes unable to install updates and fixes from the Internet via Apache proxy.
