[jira] [Updated] (COUCHDB-1687) HEAD requests on all valid
_design/doc endpoints (particularly _update)
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1687?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Benjamin Young updated COUCHDB-1687:
------------------------------------
Description:
I began building an update handler to "catch" webhook POSTs, but found that some (like MandrillApp.com ) want to be sure the endpoint exists (so they do a HEAD request) before they send content via POST.
However, hitting an _update/handler with HEAD generates a 500 Internal Server Error currently.
Additionally, I found that _view/* URL's actually send the full content body to HEAD requests.
I'd love to see _update & _view (and all the others) respond correctly to HEAD requests.
Thanks!
