When playing with data, it is very common to use curl -I (aka --head) to fetch only the headers.
Currently doing so on this app will return a 404, which can be a bit confusing too to newcomers.
I am unsure how costly it would be to implement that at the moment given my current knowledge of Actix.
Maybe there is a nice trick in Actix to ensure most GET queries can also be transformed to HEAD more or less automatically.
Less urgent than other enhancements, but still nice to have!
