7495	XViewMiddleware gets Content-Type wrong	Jeremy Dunck	nobody	"The doc.XViewMiddleware gives short-circuits views to supply the X-View header.

It doesn't actually call the view, and uses the default Content-Type of HttpRequest.  

This means that HEAD requests for people logged in as staff function incorrectly; in our case, this was a staffer's HEAD request for an RSS feed getting text/html.

I understand the performance implications of calling the view despite its content not being returned, but I think it's the right thing to do."		closed	HTTP handling	dev		wontfix			Design decision needed	1	0	1	0	0	0
