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.
