In general I am fine with sending this field,
But I am wondering whether this should be the default behavior in the (very generic and reusable) HttpUtils.h module.

My suggestion would be to go to Server::process (in Server.cpp, this is the actual QLever server),
and take the send parameter (an awaitable that takes the message and sets it),
and modify it by setting the response there.

auto sendActual = [&send] (auto message) ->boost::asio::awaitable<void> {
message.set(....) // set the field
co_await send(std::move(message)); };

(And then always use sendActual instead of send (or rather rename the parameter send).

Also it's worth noting that #513 introduced an overload of this function that would need similar code

Thanks + very true + I fixed it!

As an aside: I was and am confused about the use of co_return in this code. It seems to be used (or not) in an inconsistent fashion OR I have not fully understood when it must be used and when not.

Currently, our Server awaitables all co_return void. As in "ordinary" void functions, you do not need this statement
if your function naturally "falls off the cliff" at the closing }.
Additionally, co_await of an awaitable<void> also is a void statement, so consider the analogy between these examples:

void a(); // defined somewhere else
void b() { a();} // call a, fall off the cliff, which is fine (because void is returned);
void c() { return a();} // the same as b(), return <something that is void> is valid C++
// generally `return a();` and `a(); return;` are equivalent, iff a() returns void.

Similarly, in coroutine land

awaitable<void> a() ; // Something that can be co_awaited, and that co_await returns void.
awaitable<void> b() {co_await a();} // implicit co_return void at the end.
awaitable<void> c() {co_return co_await a();} // same as b(), b.c. everything returns void.

Only exception: Every coroutine needs at least one co_await, co_return or co_yield statement,
so the following co_return is needed:

awaitable<void> f() { 
  computeSomething(); // an "ordinary" synchronous function call.
  co_return; // "redundant", b.c. void at the end of function, but needed to deduce that this is supposed to be a coroutine.
}

response.keep_alive(request.keep_alive());
response.body() = std::move(body);
// Set Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding.
