Hi Vijay,

You can probably use a tool like metoscan (available at
http://www.securiteam.com/tools/5CP0O20IAK.html) to check the methods
allowed by the webserver.

Hello all!!!

I am doing assessment of a web server

When I issue HEAD request using nc I don't get any response from the webserver
and I get disconnected after some time.
What should i conclude from that?Does it mean that the administrator has blocked
HEAD requests?

regards,
Vijay
