The biggest problem at the moment is that I fear that I do not get
your point correctly :-).
So some explanations from your side would be very helpful to get
myself on the correct track.
the question i'm asking is why bother.
how many HEADs would a typical site get?
I'd imagine about <1%. and i'm also guessing that most of these
would be from robots (who don't care about response time) so this
patch will have little or no impact on resource utilization on the
machine itself.
Is this a DoS threat your trying to avoid?
I think there are easier ways to DoS a httpd server, so it's not this
so my question again
are you seeing a problem?
because if there isn't a problem all you are doing is adding another
code path and potential entry point for bugs.
Thanks and regards
