Description Ralf Sternberg CLA 2012-10-22 05:33:25 EDT 
Clients may send HTTP HEAD requests, e.g. to check if the server is responding at a certain URL. At the moment, HEAD requests fail because they are internally handled like POST requests.
Comment 1 Ralf Sternberg CLA 2012-10-22 07:32:51 EDT 
HEAD requests are now handled like POST requests. The content is cut off in HttpServlet already.
Fixed with commit 2c99bd55a7483e40cae5330987d259443ca796a7.
