Comment:
I think the point is that the conditional get middleware should not do
this.
HEAD requests must not return content the same way that Location headers
must use absolute URIs, which is what
[http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/core/handlers/base.py
django.core.handlers.base.fix_location_header] tries to ensure. When I
tried to come up with a better patch for this issue, I found out
fix_location_header fails, because fix_location_header fails is called (in
the handler's get_response) '''before''' the response middleware is run.
The problem here is similar: this code should run '''after''' all response
middleware, but there's not a really good place for it to hook into. If
there were such a place both these issues could be easily resolved.
Since, there is no such hook, I'll attach a patch to show what this would
mean for this responses to HEAD requests, written as a response middleware
that would always run after all other response middleware.
