Actually, it JSTL rather than Tomcat, but you're basically correct, that is
what is happening. It could be fixed in c:import (to wrap the Request, and
report GET for HEAD), but that is outside of Tomcat.

This is outside of Tomcat's control, since any Servlet is free to override
doHead to do anything it wants ;-). In fact, this is one work-around for
your problem: Use extends="com.myfirm.mypackage.MyJSPPage", and implement
doHead there.

Checking this is probably the easiest work-around. It's very unlikely that
Tomcat could do it relyably.

That would violate the spec.
