Exactly, an implicit, automatic HTTP HEAD handling would work for
sitemap rules that are idempotent (i.e. calling any number of times
gives the same result as calling once, which GET is supposed to be even
if that not always is the case). But for any sitemap with actions or
flowscripts it would typically not work.
One could have automatic HTTP HEAD handling anyway, and combining it
with explicit sitemap (or flowscript rules) for HEAD handling in those
cases where it is needed. But this of course leaves a lot of
possibilities for mistakes for the users.
Right. I think our problem is because we used to treat lightly a HTTP spec (for example not properly working conditional
gets).
What options do we have? Personally, I see only one:
Implement automatic HTTP HEAD handling for simple pipelines that do not contain act/flow calls and evangelize users to
produce code (components) properly handling HEAD requests.
So its matter of really good docs and fat warnings.
What is important, possible problems will not affect existing applications.
WDYT?
