• Additional Comments From jim@apache.org 2002-09-23 18:10 ------- Unfortunately, I cannot confirm the fact that HEAD of 1.3.27-dev gracefully continues to handle the request. Instead, it appears to perform as it should and error out. The HTTP spec is very clear on this.

Only on the principle of least-astonishment would I say we should allow this, but working around broken implementations by ignoring and disregarding the RFC is *not* a fruitful path.
