NAME
Apache::HEADRegistry - Apache::Registry drop-in for HEAD requests
SYNOPSIS
httpd.conf:
PerlModule Apache::HEADRegsitry
<Location /perl-bin>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::HEADRegistry
Options +ExecCGI
PerlSendHeader On
</Location>
DESCRIPTION
Apache::HEADRegistry is a drop-in for Apache::Registry that
properly handles HEAD requests. Currently, Apache::Registry
incorrectly handles HEAD requests - it acts as though they are
GET requests, returning both the headers and content. So, not
only does represent a way in which mod_cgi and Apache::Registry
are different, but Apache::Registry is not RFC compliant and
causes trouble with some modern browsers. This module attempts
to correct the wrong in Apache::Registry by intercepting headers
much in the way that mod_perl does, but then respecting the value
of $r->header_only.
