Found the problem, and I wanted to send out a warning to those of you who might be in a similar situation. Many of the urls on our site are registered procs, and we registered them to handle only GET requests, not knowing about HEAD requests. So when a browser does a conditional get of your content, and the request comes across as a HEAD request, and the user gets a not found response.
What made the situation worse in our case was that our 404 page was itself a registered proc with the same problem (only handling GET requests) ... -T On Fri, 31 May 2002 21:41:17 -0400, Todd Volkert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Has anyone ran into problems with AOLServer's handling of HEAD http >requests?
