gunicorn 26.1.0 drops the body of HEAD, 1xx, 204 and 304 responses, as RFC 9110 requires. It also logs a warning for each response that it changes (benoitc/gunicorn@9bc5891). The latest release, 26.2.2, still logs this warning. We upgraded from 26.0.0 to 26.2.0 in #1587.

Django returns the full body for HEAD requests. Thus every HEAD request to a view logs this warning, and Sentry records it in ISIC-API-TP. Production logged 31 of these warnings between 2026-09-30 and 2026-10-02.

This change drops the warning from Sentry for HEAD requests only. A body on a 1xx, 204 or 304 response is a bug in a view, so those warnings still go to Sentry.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Sentry no longer records matching events from gunicorn.http.wsgi log entries when the message contains both RFC 9110 and method=HEAD. Other events continue through the existing filtering behavior unchanged. This narrows the exclusion to log entries matching both conditions, while leaving unrelated Sentry events unaffected.

gunicorn 26.1.0 and later drop the body of a HEAD response and log a
warning for each one. Django returns the full body for HEAD requests,
so every HEAD request to a view sends this warning to Sentry. The
filter keeps the same warning for 204, 304 and 1xx responses, because
a body there is a bug in the view.

Retain HEAD warnings for no-body statuses.

Gunicorn 26.2.0 uses one warning format for body bytes dropped from HEAD, 1xx, 204, and 304 responses. For HEAD requests with 1xx, 204, or 304 status, the message contains both method=HEAD and RFC 9110, so this filter suppresses those warnings. Restrict the filter to HEAD responses whose status is not 1xx, 204, or 304. Non-HEAD warnings pass through because their method value differs.
