@joaodrp can you please have a look here as well? |
|
according the distribution spec outlined in the heading and manifest, it makes sense to me. |
|
@jaimem88 please help to fix the CI failure. |

I recalled there was some discussion about HEAD requests, but that was not about body. And looking back at my comments there, the http RFC even marks it as "MUST NOT send a body"; #3691 (comment) |

changes LGTM, but could you squash the commits? Looks like the second one is fixing an issue that was introduced in the first commit, so we don't need to preserve that fix up in history |

The
GetManifesthandler is used for bothHEADandGETrequests. ForHEADrequests, the handler also callsw.Write()on the response writer.This is not needed as HEAD requests should not include a response body. Most clients will actually just ignore the body, for example
curldoes this and simply skips it.This PR adds a check to the
GetManifesthandler to return early when the request method is aHEAD. This would prevent wasting resources writing to the response writer.The
ServeBlobmethod of theblobServeruses the standard libraryhttp.ServeContentwhich internally has a check to only copy the result if the request method is notHEAD. So this change will follow the same approach as the blobs handler.The change has also been recently merged to GitLab's Container Registry via https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/container-registry/-/merge_requests/1585.
