HEAD retains full representation metadata while suppressing the body · case 04
HEAD retains full representation metadata while suppressing the body.
Case contract
Only GET honors the already resolved range. HEAD returns [200,full-length,empty], GET [206,part-length,part]. Inputs are ASCII strings.
Why this case matters
Range responses combine representation identity, conditional requests, framing, and partial-object state.
One recorded failure
