[Zope] HEAD request and Content-Type

[Ulrich Wisser]

Hello,

today I found an interesting problem. When I make a HEAD
request to Zope the answer is something not really expected.
The Content-type is wrong. I include two transcipts of my
server responses below. please note that the HEAD request
return "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" instead of
the correct "Content-tYpe: text/html" which is returned with
a GET request.

Regards

Ulrich
