14560	UpdateCacheMiddleware does not save responses for HEAD requests	Maxim Bublis	nobody	"If you are sending HEAD request to your application, response won't be cached.
But if you are sending GET request first, response will be cached and following HEAD request will be answered directly from cache.
According to [http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/middleware/cache.py#L74 the comment] in UpdateCacheMiddleware's process_response() method, this behaviour depends on inexistent HTTPMiddleware. Due to the fact that response content for HEAD requests is throwed away by response fixers ''after'' all middlewares are applied, it could be safely dropped.

Patch that fixes caching of HEAD requests is attached to this ticket."		closed	Core (Cache system)	dev		fixed	cache HEAD middleware		Accepted	1	0	0	0	0	0
