3 years ago BTW, one trick to still show headers is to override the method after passing -I like this:
$ curl -I -X GET https://tr.transport.data.gouv.fr
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
content-length: 17808
content-type: application/json

When playing with data, it is very common to use
curl -I(aka--head) to fetch only the headers.Currently doing so on this app will return a 404, which can be a bit confusing too to newcomers.
I am unsure how costly it would be to implement that at the moment given my current knowledge of Actix.
Maybe there is a nice trick in Actix to ensure most GET queries can also be transformed to HEAD more or less automatically.
Less urgent than other enhancements, but still nice to have!
