My Zope isn't accepting HEAD HTTP requests. I'm receiving 404 'Not Found' errors. GET requests work as expected.
Is it usual or is a problem with my configuration? Is there any way to fix it?
we've seen the same behavior on our system using zpublisher and apache. i haven't tried it yet with zserver, but i'll bet it has the same problem. on the other hand, there are other servers and systems that have this same problem.
This is very serious! Search engines robots usually first make a HEAD request and, just if the file has changed, makes the GET. If HEADs aren't working, my site won't appear in ANY search engine.
<shameless plug> it will appear just fine in *our* search engine, since we detect and compensate for this very bug. but i wish we didn't have to. </shameless plug>
