Description John Arthorne CLA 2015-11-25 09:50:31 EST 
Our "about" page currently rejects HEAD requests. This adds noise for monitoring tools that employ head requests for testing page liveness. We should accept HEAD requests for our about page.

First fix was not a correct HEAD implementation because it did not set the response content length header. I have released a new fix:
