Hi,
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet has a method doHead(HttpServletRequest
req,HttpServletResponse resp)
which says this method receives an HTTP HEAD request from the protected service method
and handles
the request.
The client sends a HEAD request when it wants to see only the headers of a response.
There are other methods as well like doOptions(HttpServletRequest
req,HttpServletResponse resp)
which says
this method is called by the server (via the service method) to allow a servlet to
handle a OPTIONS
request.
The OPTIONS request determines which HTTP methods the server supports and returns an
appropriate
header.
How can I invoke these methods of the servlet from browser.
I tried using
<form name="form_name" method="head" action="servelt_url_here" >
but it didnt work, and the request was directed to doGet method (which is default
method from
browser ) of servlet.
I tried this using IE 5.0 , IBM Websphere 3.5 .
Thanks
-Suresh
