In this discussion, Adam Taft stated his belief that it is inappropriate to return a 204 status code as part of the response from a HEAD request:
Well, what I meant is that it seems inappropriate to send 204 to a HEAD request if the GET request would have sent 200. Erik is right about headers vs. status line. So yes, technically I guess a GET could return a different status code than a HEAD request. But as we know, we're just trying to talk about the ideal symmetry between a GET and HEAD request, to make life easier.
