debuginfod: PR27277 - Describe retrieved files when verbosensanci/verbose-headers
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. Instead of implementing a HEAD/describe option, allow users, with enough verbosity, to print the HTTP response headers upon retrieving a file. E.g output: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Length: 2428240 Cache-Control: public Last-Modified: Sat, 15 May 2021 20:49:51 GMT X-FILE: "file name" X-FILE-SIZE: "byte length of file" Content-Type: application/octet-stream Date: Tue, 03 Aug 2021 18:50:36 GMT https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27277 Signed-off-by: Noah Sanci <nsanci@redhat.com>
