/**
 * HTTP HEAD method.
 * 

* The HTTP HEAD method is defined in section 9.4 of * RFC2616: *

* The HEAD method is identical to GET except that the server MUST NOT * return a message-body in the response. The metainformation contained * in the HTTP headers in response to a HEAD request SHOULD be identical * to the information sent in response to a GET request. This method can * be used for obtaining metainformation about the entity implied by the * request without transferring the entity-body itself. This method is * often used for testing hypertext links for validity, accessibility, * and recent modification. *
