add Body::make_head and AsMut<Body> for Response #190

Closed jbr closed 4 years ago

jbr commented 4 years ago

When responding to a HEAD request, body content should not be sent. Currently there is no way to retain the content length, but remove the actual content.

This PR:

provides an affordance to strip out the content of the body but retain the content length.
provides an AsMut<Body> for Response, which makes the use of make_head more convenient

I'm not happy with the name make_head, so please suggest improvements

Closing because async-h1 hangs indefinitely, so this needs to be addressed there
