for the record, this is fundamentally wrong. HEAD requests are supposed to be identical to GET requests in every way _except_ that there is no message body, which means that if a GET request for a specific resource does not have a C-L header then a HEAD request for the same resource also _must_ not have a C-L header. at least if you care about RFC compliance. --Geoff -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
