I've got a Folder (indirection) and a DTML Method (found) in the root
of a Zope site. HEAD requests fail on the indirected DTML Method due
to OFS.ObjectManager's __getitem__ method:
def __getitem__(self, key):
import pdb;pdb.set_trace()
v=self._getOb(key, None)
if v is not None: return v
if hasattr(self, 'REQUEST'):
request=self.REQUEST
method=request.get('REQUEST_METHOD', 'GET')
if request.maybe_webdav_client and not method in ('GET',
'POST'):
return NullResource(self, key, request).__of__(self)
raise KeyError, key
I wasn't around during the development of the WebDAV code, so I'm
loathe to just jump in and start changing things, but why isn't
'HEAD' exempted from the NullResource as well, given that HTTP specs
state that HEAD *must* return the same headers that a GET would
provide (ignoring for the moment the Collector issue thread over
whether HEAD should provide the length of the source of a document or
its fully rendered content - let's just try to make sure both methods
work on the *same object*). What was the reasoning behind the
decision? These changes happened way back in the Dark Ages (late
March 1999 or so, earlier in the month, this code was added to
OFS.Folder with the initial WebDAV support). A trip through the
WayBackMachine™ shows no discussion in the Zope-dev lists in early
1999 when this was being worked on, and no real mention of WebDAV in
Zope for most of the rest of that year (on Zope-dev or the general
Zope list). Am I mistaking this for a problem?
