Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-1515:
-----------------------------------------------
bq. What I understand is that a GET and HEAD request to the same resource
should get exactly the same headers.
Just a remark: such was always my belief, too. However, in newer revisions of
the protocol (>= 1.1bis) this may no longer be the case. Response to a HEAD
method would have to contain the same _content_ headers only.
