			# Represents a body suitable for HEAD requests, in other words, a body that is empty and has a known length.

				# Create a head body for the given body, capturing its length and then closing it.
				#
				# If a body is provided, the length is determined from the body, and the body is closed.
				# If no body is provided, and the content length is provided, a head body is created with that length.
				# This is useful for creating a head body when you only know the content length but not the actual body, which may happen in adapters for HTTP applications where the application may not provide a body for HEAD requests, but the content length is known.
				#
				# @parameter body [Readable | Nil] the body to create a head for.
				# @parameter length [Integer | Nil] the content length of the body, if known.
				# @returns [Head | Nil] the head body, or nil if the body is nil.
