Research direction

Open azure/Guidelines.md at lines 142-154 and review the surrounding HTTP return-code guidance. Check how the listed verbs are described and determine where HTTP HEAD should be covered. Done means the table and relevant guidelines consistently address HEAD, with documentation tests or checks passing if available.

Description

See the table https://github.com/microsoft/api-guidelines/blob/0611d2f7236b7670f887e83ac7da4c918d9cb74f/azure/Guidelines.md?plain=1#L142-L154

It lists all HTTP verbs but HEAD. And overall, this verb isn't mentioned in the guidelines. Why?
