--------------------------------------------
Summary: StreamRendererServlet redirects HEAD requests to external
uri if available
Key: SLING-7350
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7350
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Servlets
Affects Versions: Servlets Get 2.1.30
Reporter: Satya Deep Maheshwari
SLING-7140 added a feature to support redirects to external uri of a resource
if available. This handled by StreamRendererServlet. See [1]. As per the
current implementation, if there's a uri available, a redirect is done for a
http HEAD request as well. This can be problematic for clients which expect the
response as sent by the servlet as of now if the response is different from the
redirected HEAD request.
Would it be correct to handle the HEAD request *before* the redirect so that
its current behavior is retained?
