Suggestion: http doc should mention special handling for HEAD and 304 #8057

• Version: 4.4.7 , 6.3.1
• Platform: OS X
• Subsystem: http

I think it would be a good idea to mention in the official docs that the http module will ignore any response body if the incoming request is a HEAD request, and the same behavior for 304 responses.

And any other special handling the http module does.

Reasoning is, I had no way of knowing if this was official behavior since it was undocumented, and when it first existed / introduced so I had to test it myself to see across a few node versions. So it would've saved me some time and others time in the future.

If it exists already, my apologies, I tried looking through the http doc but could not find a mention.
