Hi,

We are using common-vfs-1.0.jar. And it used to work fined. But on and off in a random manner, we get the following exception

org.apache.commons.vfs.FileSystemException: Could not determine the type of file "https://.....".
	at org.apache.commons.vfs.provider.AbstractFileObject.attach(AbstractFileObject.java:1305)
	at org.apache.commons.vfs.provider.AbstractFileObject.getType(AbstractFileObject.java:412)
	at org.apache.commons.vfs.provider.AbstractFileObject.exists(AbstractFileObject.java:402)

Caused by: org.apache.commons.vfs.FileSystemException: HEAD method failed for "https://....".
	at org.apache.commons.vfs.provider.http.HttpFileObject.doGetType(HttpFileObject.java:96)
	at org.apache.commons.vfs.provider.AbstractFileObject.attach(AbstractFileObject.java:1296)

Restarting the server will work smoothly. But why this error occuring , any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
