Umm, no, don't think so.  IIRC, that line just affects what the outputted
"Allow:" response header is.

Because M_GET and M_HEAD are implemented the same way through the whole
server -- the only difference is that if (r->header_only), we skip sending
the body.  But otherwise it's quite convenient to treat them as the same,
since they ARE the same.

I guess I'm confused why you'd want to allow HEAD while not allowing GET.
