Benjamin Young created COUCHDB-1687:
---------------------------------------
Summary: HEAD requests on all valid _design/doc endpoints
(particularly _update)
Key: COUCHDB-1687
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1687
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HTTP Interface
Reporter: Benjamin Young
I began building an update handler to "catch" webhook POSTs, but found that
some--like MandrillApp.com--want to be sure the endpoint exists--so they do a
HEAD request--before they send content via POST.
However, hitting an _update/handler with HEAD generates a 500 Internal Server
Error currently.
Additionally, I found that _view/* URL's actually send the full content body to
HEAD requests.
I'd love to see _update & _view (and all the others) respond correctly to HEAD
requests.
Thanks!
