5898	HEAD processing should be compulsory	Scott Barr <scott@…>	nobody	"Here is a patch to django.middleware.http.py that (1) add's a ""Content-Length"" header to the HTTP response if the ""Content-Length"" header hasn't already been supplied, and (2) removes the content from the response, for HEAD requests where the response code is 200.

This makes the HTTP response useful for HEAD requests, which shouldn't have content in the response. The Content-Length header is desirable in the response headers."		closed	HTTP handling	dev		fixed			Accepted	1	1	0	0	0	0
