            Bug ID: 27277
           Summary: support HEAD query for debuginfod content probe
                    requests
           Product: elfutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: debuginfod
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: fche at redhat dot com
                CC: elfutils-devel at sourceware dot org, woodard at redhat dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

There appear to exist use cases that intend to simply check for the existence
of content in a debuginfod server, without actually downloading it.  In HTTP
land, the HEAD operation is the natural expression of this.  We could support
this in the webapi, and give options to debuginfod-find and the client API to
use it.
