> Normally on HEAD Requests, the server returns Content-Length of the document specified. (as in then HTTP 1.0 specs). try telnet www.ncsa.uiuc.edu 80 HEAD / HTTP/1.0 and telnet www.apache.org 80 HEAD / HTTP/1.0 Some programs rely on this and want to know the document length before getting it. I just tested it again and tried telnet www.apache.org 80 GET / HTTP/1.0 It seems that Apache does NOT return any Content-Length at all !!! Heinrich
hi,
My first thought is,
how can a response with no content have a content length >0 ?
This mail will go to the developers, who can ponder that thought.
