As RFC 2616 (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616- sec9.html#sec9.4) said, the HEAD method is identical to GET except that the server MUST NOT return a message-body in the response.
But if I do not return a message-body, GAE will set the Content-Length to 0, that's not a correct result. So I try to return a message-body, and use socket to check the response. The dev server will drop the body without setting Content-Length. The production server also drops the body, and set a correct Content- Length. However, it also uses quotas. I tried to send a 10 MB message-body via HEAD method, it was drop by GAE, so only a few bytes were received, but my per-minute outgoing bandwidth quota got used up soon after 6 requests. I believe it's a bug of calculating the quotas. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
