Well, consider the situation of the parent request using POST.
When you constructed your subrequest you would need to also
provide an entity-body or explicitly set Content-length to zero.
I suspect one of the original arguments may have been that GET
and HEAD are defined as idempotent and therefore essentially
repeatable and transparent to the effect of the original request.
