Graham Dumpleton has described better than I would why frameworks should leave the task stripping the body of HEAD requests to servers: http://blog.dscpl.com.au/2009/10/wsgi-issues-with-http-head-requests.html (first five paragraphs). We should check whether mod_wsgi, gunicorn and uwsgi properly strip the body of HEAD requests before proceeding. We should also move that behavior into runserver -- that is, on the other side of the WSGI. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/26052> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
