Does OpenRasta supports HEAD HTTP Method?

Question

I'm trying to configure an OpenRasta resource to respond a HTTP HEAD operation. I already tried to use UriName, different method names and signatures, but I couldn't find a solution yet. This is the configuration code that I used:

ResourceSpace.Has.ResourcesOfType<Stream>()
                 .AtUri("/assets/{providerCode}/?type={type}")
                 .HandledBy<AssetHandler>();

And this is the method at the AssetHandler:

[HttpOperation(HttpMethod.HEAD)]
public OperationResult Head(string providerCode, int type)
{
    var asset = assetService.GetAssetAtCDN(providerCode, type);
    if (asset == null) return new OperationResult.NotFound();

    return new OperationResult.Found { RedirectLocation = new Uri(asset.Url) };
}

Sample request:

HEAD http://localhost:63483/assets/PygvCaOfK353etajBlbd/?type=4 HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Host: localhost:63483

Response:

HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed
Server: ASP.NET Development Server/9.0.0.0
Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2011 17:40:39 GMT
X-AspNet-Version: 2.0.50727
Cache-Control: private
Content-Length: 0
Connection: Close

And at OpenRasta log:

DEBUG Entering OpenRastaRewriterHandler: Rewriting to original path e:
DEBUG Entering OpenRastaIntegratedHandler: Request for http://localhost:63483/assets/PygvCaOfK353etajBlbd/?type=4 e:

Answer 1

You can use ResourcesNamed for this:

ResourceSpace.Has.ResourcesNamed("head")
             .AtUri("/assets/{providerCode}/?type={type}")
             .HandledBy<AssetHandler>();
