Hello,

I don’t think that this is specifically related to HEAD requests, as standard GET requests also return 500 errors:

500 error for GET requests

I believe that the that you are trying to access only accepts POST requests. Because if I try to do a POST + HEAD it returns 201:

curl -X POST -LI  https://my-app-fxzj6.ondigitalocean.app/admin/trello/validate
// Oputput
HTTP/2 201

Best,

Bobby
