HTTP method HEAD used for getting headers server responses to request no body response.
The main difference between the HEAD method and GET is that the HEAD method returns only the response headers, without the data body itself, which allows you to reduce the amount of data transmitted and improve transmission performance.
For example, when you view a list of files on a web server through a browser, it may first execute a request with the HEAD method to obtain only information about the file, such as content type, file size, date of last change, etc.
The browser can use this information to display a list of files without actually downloading them, which saves time and network bandwidth.
