> As per current implementation any HEAD request will be handled by defaultHeadServlet which majorly does two changes
> 1.) coverts response output stream to be null so that there should be no message body in response
> 2.)  coverts HEAD request to GET request. 
> Now this request is dispatched and served by defaultGetServlet.
> With this approach, we get the desired output but response is delayed as it reads the complete binary data of a resource. and also it increases data transfer which is not needed.
> So IMO this approach should be improved.
> thanks,
