Comment:

I observed that gunicorn and runserver (based on Python's server) don't send content for HEAD requests. I didn't check mod_wsgi or uwsgi since they are marginally more complicated to setup a test project. If we go ahead and remove this, one place where developers might see a difference would be in the test client. Do you think it's worth trying to keep it in that context? I lean toward simply removing it and reacting if anyone complains.

    33Graham Dumpleton has described better than I would why frameworks should leave the task stripping the body of HEAD requests to servers: http://blog.dscpl.com.au/2009/10/wsgi-issues-with-http-head-requests.html (first five paragraphs).
