I guess the question is whether we prefer adding this informationinto the response header and having clients do the request-and-terminatetrick, or defining a well-known endpoint servers can implement whichtakes a path as an input and returns either what the response headerwould be, or maybe a small JSON structure of metadata (which couldinclude stuff like last-modified date).
