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.
Sample project with sources is attached
