Comment:
Replying to [comment:2 Mariusz Felisiak]:
> I don't agree, we intentionally drop the `Content-Length`. Please check
the entire discussion in PR, e.g. this
[https://github.com/django/django/pull/16502#issuecomment-1405617633
comment]. As far as I'm aware, the current implementation is RFC
compliant. I'd mark this ticket as invalid.
Thank you Mariusz for the pointer to the specific message from Nick, it
provides a very complete and clear reasoning for the change.
With that in mind, I agree that this is not a valid **bug**. Additionally,
I agree that the optional return of `Content-Length` for `HEAD` requests,
enabling specific use cases, should be approached as a new feature, which
should be presented and discussed in the
[https://forum.djangoproject.com/c/internals/5 Django Forum] (following
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/internals/contributing/bugs-and-
features/#requesting-features the documented guidelines for requesting
features]). Paul, would you be willing to start a new topic explaining the
current situation and outlining potential use cases for the feature?
