The HEAD request only uses the header to pass information. I need to set the content-length in the HEAD request. This is the information I want to pass, but the content-length will be overwritten.

use ntex::web;

#[web::head("/")]
async fn hello() -> impl web::Responder {
    web::HttpResponse::Ok().set_header("Content-Length", 1000).finish()
}
#[ntex::main]
async fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    web::HttpServer::new(|| {
        web::App::new()
            .service(hello)
    })
        .bind(("127.0.0.1", 8080))?
        .run()
        .await
}
