Glad to find another human! :)
From the spec, it looked like there should be a content-length, but maybe you're right. I'm writing a server for a client that expects the content-length to be there. As I said, I did find a workaround by just printing to the output stream, but it had me baffled for a while. Lucky everyone is still on holidays, there was some swearing going on :)...

Yeah, you should have seen another message between me and another guy. lol. Anyways, head responses can't have a length as they are only a header. So basically all you can send back in a head request is the header and the header won't have a length....read the headers until you get an empty line....if that's what you are needing to do (client stuff)...server side...you can't really do anything with the head request but send headers. I guess you can send a header for a redirect to a different page if needed. So I'm sure tomcat is wiping it all out for you ... as it should be technically per the specification.
