If I understand correctly, the intention is to determine the size of the object that would be sent, so a client application could generate a progress-bar of the download progress.

My quick testing shows that Gitea didn't provide the "Content-Length" attribute in the HTTP response header, so the client does not know the response size in advance.

The Content-Length attribute is not mandatory for HTTP HEAD or HTTP GET, but could be useful in some cases.
