Benjamin Young updated COUCHDB-1687:
------------------------------------
Description:
I began building an update handler to "catch" webhook POSTs, but found that
some (like MandrillApp.com ) want to be sure the endpoint exists (so they do a
HEAD request) before they send content via POST.
However, hitting an _update/handler with HEAD generates a 500 Internal Server
Error currently.
Additionally, I found that _view/* URL's actually send the full content body to
HEAD requests.
I'd love to see _update & _view (and all the others) respond correctly to HEAD
requests.
Thanks!
