HEAD method doesn't propagate from apache to tomcat over mod_jk

[Arnar Gestsson <ag...@trackwell.com>]

Hi,

I've stumbled over a bug in the mod_jk, which can be described by: 

If I send request using HEAD method to a servlet, the servlet allways
shows the method as GET.  POST method works as expected.

I've made attached servlet to verify the nature of the problem.  I'm
using the following environment

OS: Linux Redhat 9.0 on intel platform
Tomcat version: 4.1.31
Tomcat component: mod_jk(1.2.8)
JVM: sun java 1.4.2_03
Webserver: Apache 2.0.53

I've not seen this problem mentioned anywhere, but it surely is there.
I would appreciate any comment about the matter.

This has been fixed already see:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-tomcat-connectors/jk/native/common/jk_ajp_common.c?r1=1.77&r2=1.78&diff_format=h

So you'll need 1.2.9 for HEAD method to work.
