Head Requests Does Not Give Expected Output For Some URLS In Weblogic 12.1.2 (Doc ID 1635373.1)

Last updated on JUNE 02, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle WebLogic Server - Version 12.1.2.0.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

On WebLogic Server 12.1.2.0.0, with no default web application deployed, sending a GET request for any of the following URLs produces a 404 response, as expected:
(1) https://host:port/
(2) https://host:port/not-a-context-root/
(3) https://host:port/bea_wls_internal/something-nonexistent

Sending a HEAD request for any of these is likewise expected to return an HTTP 404 status line along with suitable response headers.However, this does not work in cases (1) and (2). The WLS Managed Server instead closes the SSL connection after receiving the HEAD request, without sending any data.

For (3) , it gives expected 404 error

Steps to Reproduce

1) install 12.1.2 WLS and configure a domain and start the admin server
2) Runing the following commands will give the output mentioned inline
