Summary
## Content
```typescript
// GOOD: Use middleware when HEAD needs different behavior
app.use('/api/resource', async (c, next) => {
await next()
// Add HEAD-specific headers after the handler
if (c.req.method === 'HEAD') {
c.header('X-HEAD-Processed', 'true')
// Don't compute expensive body content for HEAD
c.res = new Response(null, c.res)
}
})
