[Zope] HEAD method in 2.0.0b1

3 Aug 1999 06:45:49 -0000

I got this report from a reader of technocrat.net, who complains that the
HEAD method is returning results that are inconsistent with the results from
the GET method on the same URL. Is this a Zope problem or a Squishdot problem?

	Thanks

Now this one is bizarre :)

if i do a HEAD on http://www.technocrat.net/933640798/addPostingForm I 
get:
lovecraft:~$ telnet www.technocrat.net 80
