A server should respond with the same headers to a HEAD request as to a GET one.

  SHOULD and DOES are not the same thing. Returning 405 'Method Not Allowed' on a HEAD isn't unreasonable, and that is the issue we are seeing. EDIT: did say GET on prior edit.

    > Returning 405 'Method Not Allowed' on a GET isn't unreasonable I think you meant "on a HEAD".

      er yes, my bad. Fixed

  They should, but many good sites just don't, for whatever reason. Even ones you know are run by smart people: $ curl -I -X HEAD https://redis.io/ HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found For this app, being more forgiving is a better idea.
