Francois-Xavier Bonnet commented on HTTPCLIENT-1515:
----------------------------------------------------
Another thing that makes me think that storing the request method in the cache
entry is not the best solution is that many web sites are responding to a HEAD
request with a response entity just as if it was a GET request. We are going to
store these responses in the cache with their entity but we will not use them
for GET requests.
> Caching responses to HEAD requests

> Our system retrieves metadata via HEAD requests using HTTP Client 4.x and
> would benefit immensely from having the headers in the response cached.
