Hello fellow IIS Administrators:
Can you advise:
We have a web site which went down today and came back up - with in 60 seconds. This was due to our virus checker software.
Anyway, in diagnosing the issue I found a Http Verb called HEAD in the web site's log. One record with a http status code of 200. I was only expecting the verbs GET and POST. I understand I can add or remove verbs from web site settings in IIS.
My question is: if I disallow the verb HEAD to work, [this would prevent requests for a http header] -what are the implications in terms of security, performance etc to my web site?
Hope you can advise.
Cheers,
SpainishWaiter
