Method HEAD is not allowed on $metadata

Hello,

Version Microsoft.AspNetCore.OData, Version=8.0.4.0

Seems default controller doesn't allow HEAD method requests on $metadata requests: http://www.xx.com/api/<CustomerId>$metadata": The remote server returned an error: (405) Method Not Allowed.

/// <summary>
/// Represents a controller for generating OData service and metadata ($metadata) documents.
/// </summary>
public class MetadataController : ControllerBase
{
    private static readonly Version _defaultEdmxVersion = new Version(4, 0);

    /// <summary>
    /// Generates the OData $metadata document.
    /// </summary>
    /// <returns>The <see cref="IEdmModel"/> representing $metadata.</returns>
    [HttpGet]
    public IEdmModel GetMetadata()
    {
        return GetModel();
    }

I use it to make sure my customer's model is online and not to download XML.

Any reason why being so restrictive?

Kind regards
