Media source integration does not support HEAD verb

[starteleport]

The problem

I was trying to track down the issue that my Samsung Smart TV would not play media via DLNA and found that the TV is attempting to HEAD the media to be played before GET-ting it.

I was able to successfully execute a media_player.play_media action with the URL pointing to the www directory that does respond to the HEAD request.

core-2025.1.1
