Hello,

Today I stumbled upon a somewhat dated Pylons project called Guillotine 
<https://github.com/Pylons/guillotine>, a WSGI middleware 
<https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/1.10-branch/glossary.html#term-middleware>
 
extension. It seems to have only one purpose: rewrite the request method of 
HEAD requests into GET.

Now I am curious about the *why*. A HEAD request is, as per documentation 
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods/HEAD>, pretty 
much a GET without body. So what’s the purpose then of this particular 
extension and the rewrite?

Much thanks,
Jens
