Question iTunes Podcast Feeds and HTTP HEAD requests

Gene Steinberg

Regular Pleskian
I'm running a Plesk Linux server with latest Obsidian release.

I've had to do a workaround for the RSS feed for our podcasts due to Apple's requirements that it support HTTP Head Requests.

I've turned off all 301 HTTPS redirects that I can see while still supporting SSL on my sites, but I'm still getting error messages when I try to verify the feeds.

upport for HTTP HEAD requests
The server for your episodes must support “HTTP HEAD requests”, which is a fancy way of saying that iTunes must be able to get information about your files without downloading them whole.

  • Unexpected HTTP code: 301
So what do I change/fix on my server?

Peace,
Gene
