Hi Simon,

Have your tried <@CGIPARAM METHOD>? The Witango Help just talks about
returning GET or POST, but in theory HEAD should also appear if that's what
you're sending.

These kinds of questions keep coming up more and more often lately. Being
able to capture the "entire" HTTP Request Header (on Windows) is not
possible presently - but I wish it was because it could help here.

The Mac platform has <@CGIPARAM FULL_REQUEST>, which could be used to parse
this information.

In any case, if you could parse for HEAD, then you'll probably have to write
some sort of handler to not return any content - just the HTTP Response
Header.

Being able to capture just the Content-Length of some output before hand
might be helpful in dynamically setting a larger MAXRESULTSIZE attribute of
the <@URL> Meta Tag.

Let us know what you find out....
