The HEAD request returns 404, but the GET request returns a 302
redirect. Something's wrong ... is the redirect implemented as
a registered proc? Do registered procs not get invoked on HEAD
requests? If so, that's a bug ...
If this were the VIP fabricating an HTTP response, then why would
it be adding the "Server: AOLserver/3.4.2" header -- that's got
to be coming from the origin HTTP server behind the VIP.
