In Aggie Experts, we need the ability to make HEAD requests and get a response that shows whether the document exists in ES.
In the current use case, we'd like to make a HEAD request to see if an expert exists in the app, and if not, we'd like to hide a link to the experts' profile.
Currently, the GET route in default-api.js is returning a 200 status code as an error, but with the HEAD request there is no body describing the error.

Although I'm not sure which status code we'd want to return. Or we could create a HEAD route instead of letting Express default to the GET route.
