Mike Gunderloy wrote a few notes about TENT, a new distributed microblogging thingie, hosted service at tent.is, docs and implementation at tent.io.
Interesting. One thing that does leap out: Discovery is done via
A HEAD request to https://johnsmith.me/ would respond with a Link header pointing to a Tent profile (e.g. https://tent.johnsmith.me/profile)
So your identity URL has to be an aware server, not just a couple of <link ...> tags in an HTML document? Hmmmm...

Lots of head requests are an indicator of vulnerability scanners.
its faster. They come back later for the data. Some firewall filters and IDS's trigger off of them.

Apache doesn't seem to respond that way by default. In general the HEAD request returns meta information that can be returned from a stat(...) without a full open(...); read(...); close(...) cycle.

Isn't the response to a HEAD request just the head section of the HTML document in the URL? I don't think that needs any special server coding...
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
