My current understanding is that the hits on blocklist.xml are used to compute ADU metrics. In Bug 1257565 we want to replace the current XML-based system with a diff-based JSON system (aka. Kinto). In order to avoid interfering with metrics when switching to the new system, we could perform a HEAD request — instead of downloading the whole file uselessly. Could you please make sure the HEAD requests are going to be processed equally as GET on Nginx? Thanks!

The web log processing doesn't distinguish between http request types. As long as the necessary fields are present in the log file, it'll process them into hive

Excellent, thanks Matt!
