There is a separate fix outstanding which affects the content length
filter - which was changing content length to zero on HEAD requests.
When that fix is committed this problem should go away.

The proxy is still dropping Content-Length when replying to HEAD requests on
2.0.45.

Where is that fix available? Is it going to be committed? Is there a bugzilla
case for this problem? (I could not find one)

From the changes file its PR 8677.
I don't see your name in the changes file, so I suppose your fix isn't
in there ... maybe for the 2.0.46 release ( if it hasn't been rejected
silently ) ?

Greetz,

Peter.
PS: my patch isn't in there either :-(

Hmm... true, the mod_proxy has been fixed (PR 8677) so that it won't always
and unconditionally remove Content-Length.

But the Content-Length of the HEAD requuest is a different thing... Perhaps
I'll open a new PR for it.

Please do - but don't open it under proxy, but rather under core, as it
seems to be a problem with the content length filter, which has nothing
to do with proxy.

If there are any patches outstanding on this issue, please could people
post them again - they are likely to have fallen through the cracks
otherwise.

Regards,
Graham

Done. PR 18757
