RE: Microsoft URL Scan

Hi Brad,

I'm not familiar with the details about how Internet search engines like
Goggle crawling on web sites. However from my point of view, they must use
GET verb instead of HEAD to get contents being indexed. So if your site can
be properly listed by Google or MSN searching, I assume they are still
working smoothly without the HEAD verb being allowed.

If your clients do have concern on are concerned with this, I think you can
just enable HEAD verb in URLScan.ini and this will not bring any additional
security risk. URLScan blocks HEAD verb due to it's not being frequently
used but not indicating it's a potential flaw.

Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks.

Best Regards,
WenYuan Wang
