When using runserver headers are dropped for head requests, in particular
content-length. Because my HEAD request is serving a large body content, I
do not include it in the body since it is just dropped.
Headers from runserver:
{{{#!python
Headers({'date': 'Tue, 19 Dec 2023 12:52:23 GMT', 'server':
'WSGIServer/0.2 CPython/3.11.2', 'accept-ranges': 'bytes', 'content-type':
'text/html; charset=utf-8', 'x-frame-options': 'DENY', 'x-content-type-
options': 'nosniff', 'referrer-policy': 'same-origin', 'cross-or
igin-opener-policy': 'same-origin'})
}}}
Headers from uvicorn asgi server:
{{{#!python
Headers({'date': 'Tue, 19 Dec 2023 12:54:49 GMT', 'server': 'uvicorn',
'accept-ranges': 'bytes', 'content-length': '121283919', 'content-type':
'text/html; charset=utf-8', 'x-frame-options': 'DENY', 'x-content-type-
options': 'nosniff', 'referrer-policy': 'same-origin', 'cross-origin-
opener-policy': 'same-origin'})
}}}
Notice the uvicorn properly includes the content-length header that was
set in the view.

{{{#!python
if request.method == 'HEAD':
print('HEAD Request')
return HttpResponse(headers={
'Accept-Ranges': 'bytes',
'Content-Length': str(file_size)
})
}}}
