Hi all - when making a request using Google Chrome the browser issues a GET
followed by a HEAD.

My page is database driven and this second HEAD request is essentially
running through all the code just as the GET does.

I'm trying to put a before_handler tool in to grab the request and return
headers only using something simple like this

if cherrypy.request.method.upper() == 'HEAD':
return cherrypy.response.headers

Alas, it continues to process the body of the page. This custom tool can
capture and handle HEAD requests when I issue a redirect or raise an error,
but then the browser fails to fully load the page.

Any thoughts/suggestions would be much appreciated.

Best Regards,
Ross
