Hi!

The real Google Cloud Storage API returns 200 if a object is retrieved with HTTP method HEAD.
I use that to check if an object with a given ID exists.

However, fake-gcs-server always returns 404 (even though the same object returns 200 if HTTP method GET is used).

Would be cool if you could add support for HEAD!
I am using fake-gcs-server heavily for one of my projects :)
