Hi all,

When I tried to idHTTP.Head an url, idHTTP locks and nothing happens.
The app still waiting for a response and not timeout occurs. The URL
is:

http://g.msn.com/mh_mshp_pt-BR/98765?8262677D&http://www.microsoft.com&&HL=Microsoft%2bCorporation&CM=Masthead&CE=geotargeting


An idHTTP.Get works fine, just Head doesn't on this url. Other urls
work fine too.

Any idea?

Thanks a lot,

Gustavo

I found a workaround for that:

1. Use Get instead of Head;
2. Before execute Get, insert this line:

idHTTP.Request.Range := '0-0';

The result returns all headers and none content (really it returns
just 1 byte of document, I can live with this Wink.
