Research direction

Start in the API controller handling /since, /history, and /query, and inspect how their HEAD requests are registered. Remove the obsolete HEAD handlers and verify that these routes no longer expose those requests while their remaining behavior is unchanged.

Description

question

There was a sprint focused on cache where implementations of HEAD requests were required. Artifacts remain in the API controller for /since, /history, and /query HEAD requests.

I believe it has been determined that these are not valid HEAD requests. HEAD requests are only for single pieces of data behind a PURL. If we aren't going to use them, we should delete them.
