Comment (by mtredinnick):
What is the actual problem you are trying to fix, arien? (Let's set aside
co-opting an existing ticket for a different purpose). HEAD requests
''already'' don't return any content. So there's no problem there. Don't
make hand-wavy analogies to absolute URLs, they have nothing to do with
HEAD requests. What is an example of something that you think should work
that does not work with the current code?
We already set content length to 0 for 304 response codes and Django
itself never returns a 204: if somebody does return a response like that,
it's up to them to also not return any content, we aren't going to do
introspection on a response that is generated by the user.
