We enable spider when opt.method is set to HEAD. This was done so as to reuse the old code that handles HEAD requests through --spider. I was planning on adding this in the docs that, for the moment, --method=HEAD is simply an alias to --spider.
The correct way to fix this would be to separate the logic for handling HEAD requests from that for --spider functionality and then reuse the code. -- Thanking You, Darshit Shah
