Hi,

does wwwoffle support keep-alive? I have problems to update Windows
through wwwoffle. I belive it is, because wwwoffle closes the connection
after the HEAD command and Windows don't like this.

I've seen a strange behaviour of the HEAD command. If I request the HEAD
and the data of the site is cache I get it too.

#v+
$ telnet server 8080 
HEAD http://www.thur.de/ HTTP/1.0

HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Date: Fri, 08 Apr 2005 17:20:39 GMT

Does the RFC allow this?

Bye, Joerg.
