Boris Pruessmann updated SLING-2426:
------------------------------------
Affects Version/s: (was: Servlets Get 2.1.2)
API 2.2.0
> SlingSafeMethodsServlet's default HEAD implementation not completely RFC
> compliant
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-2426
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2426
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Servlets
> Affects Versions: API 2.2.0
> Reporter: Boris Pruessmann
>
> RFC 2616 states: "The HEAD method is identical to GET except that the server
> MUST NOT return a message-body in the response."
> The current implementation of the SlingSafeMethodsServlet does not guarantee
> what's stated above - if the GET call's response gets too big, the servlet
> engine might switch to chunked transfer. However, the HEAD call returns a
> valid Content-Length header no matter what, resulting in HEAD returning
> different headers than the corresponding GET call.
