Thanks for the explanation. As an aside, the developers of curl have indicated that it is the expected behavior that when using the -X option the behavior not be modified based on what is passed to -X. So using curl -X HEAD results in GET-like behavior (wait for content) with a HEAD method. best, Erik ;; Erik Hetzner, California Digital Library ;; gnupg key id: 1024D/01DB07E3
