描述

Implement proper HEAD support for static file serving.

The response should follow the same logic as the default GET behaviour (like now), but not open any file streams (because we do not need any as the response to a HEAD request cannot have any body anyway).

As a bonus, I think we need to block unsupported methods such as POST and PUT, and render the correct Allow header in response to OPTIONS.

研究方向
Implement HEAD for static routes by reusing the GET logic but without opening file streams. Also block unsupported methods like POST and PUT, and add an Allow header in response to OPTIONS. Check the existing static route implementation in falcon/routing/static.py and the HTTP method handling in falcon/request.py and falcon/response.py. See comments in issue #2337 for discussion on the approach.
