[Zope] Setting content-type on HEAD request

24 Feb 2000 00:01:07 -0800

I have the following code in standard_html_header, and

<dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader('content-type', 'text/html')">

when a GET request comes to the URL, the content-type header in
the HTTP response appears correctly.   However, when a HEAD
request comes, the response always appears as
application/octet-stream.  How do I correct this?

Curiously, www.zope.org:80 has the same problem.
