Is blocking all HTTP-HEAD requesta a bad idea?
We think about blocking all HTTP Head requests for our Web-Applications (not REST or SOAP) via ASM, by returning a html response page with HTTP-code 200 OK, because most of them are requests from crawlers. Are there experiences concerning client behavior? Since HTTP-200 is returned, the client thinks that the request ist valid, even if the site doesn't exists. For Office-Doks, which constain invalid web links the user doesn't get a info popup which tells him that the ressource doesn't exists, instead the web-client is opened which then sends a HTTP-GET to a non existing ressource. For me it doesn't sound like a major drawback. Are there any other pitfalls known?
