head

|
====
|
|
|
|
Matches requests with HTTP method ``HEAD``.
|
|
|
|
This directive filters the incoming request by its HTTP method. Only requests with
|
|
method ``HEAD`` are passed on to the inner route. All others are rejected with a
|
|
``MethodRejection``, which is translated into a ``405 Method Not Allowed`` response
|
|
by the default ``RejectionHandler``.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: By default, akka-http handles HEAD-requests transparently by dispatching a GET-request to the handler and
|
|
stripping of the result body. See the ``akka.http.server.transparent-head-requests`` setting for how to disable
|
|
this behavior.
