Often a HEAD request is followed by a GET. It would be useful
if squid-prefetch was aware of this and performed a GET when
it sees a HEAD request.
You mean, when squid-prefetch sees a HEAD request in the log, it should
do a GET in anticipation of the other program doing a GET?
If so, then I'd have to say not for the simple reason that
squid-prefetech runs at least a second behind what is happening in
real-time. It's likely that a program that has done a HEAD and is about
to do a GET has already done so.
Also, I'm not aware of any browsers that do a HEAD request before a GET
when reading pages. Thus, it would only be programs doing downloads
that would act such and those wouldn't get pre-fetched anyway.
This, of course, is all speculation. Please let me know if you have
reason to believe otherwise.
