Research direction
Compare the request handling for GET and HEAD requests for a file such as foo.png, focusing on how Content-Type and Content-Length are determined. Verify the behavior with an existing test entry point if one covers these responses; done means HEAD returns the same correct metadata as GET without returning the file body.
