Elmah and blocking http HEAD requests

Question

Would there be any consequence in blocking HEAD requests with Elmah? I get quit a few of errors that come through with Elmah. Should I have ASP.NET MVC accept HEAD requests? I'm not sure if I am missing something with HEAD.

Answer 1

I came across this when trying to get rid of the constant errors being logged to elmah by site24x7 that is checking uptime on our asp.net mvc 3 site. using HEAD (a seemingly less heavy way of checking uptime)

see this post for how to allow HEAD requests

[AcceptVerbs(new[] {"GET", "HEAD"})]
public ActionResult TestMe()
{
    return View();
}
