Priority: P2 Bug ID: 53454 Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org Summary: Default doHead implementation overrides 'Content-Length' header Severity: normal Classification: Unclassified Reporter: n.s.skvort...@gmail.com Hardware: PC Status: NEW Version: 6.0.29 Component: Servlet & JSP API Product: Tomcat 6 Created attachment 28985 --> https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=28985&action=edit Sampe app with sources If a client extends HttpServlet and desides to override doGet() method, resulting servlet can fail to correctly handle HEAD requests. This will happen, if client chooses to set Content-Length manually (e.g., to allow content bigger than 2Gb): resp.setHeader("Content-Length", String.valueOf(12345678900L)); and only writes actual content if it is a GET request (e.g., because it is costly operation). In such conditions, GET request will have correct "Content-Length" header, but HEAD requset will have "Content-Length" header with value 0.
