This is correct. Some listen clients try a HEAD request first (most of
no good reason). You can also see the requests in your access log.

Look for lines like this:

127.0.0.1 - - [02/May/2018:12:17:08 +0000] "HEAD / HTTP/1.1" 400 430 "-" "Wget/1.18 (linux-gnu)" 0
                                            ^^^^

With best regards,
