Hi, 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? I'm using the source Zope 1.10.2 with Apache 1.3.3 in an AIX4.1 machine. 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. regards, -- Paulo Eduardo Neves mailto:neves@inf.puc-rio.br PUC-Rio de Janeiro

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.

<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>

Zope 1.11pr1 does return information on HEAD requests, because of it's webDAV support. The information returned is not always accurate however. It does not recognize the fact that a GET request on a folder will return a call to the index_html method (if it exists through aquisition, that is.). If the index_html document _doesn't_ exist, HEAD still returns a 200 OK... Hmm.. this all sounds like a bug, where is my bookmark for the Collector.. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-6254545 Fax: +31-35-6254555 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------
