Hi Fabian, because GET and HEAD have a very near semantic, it is the same. The only difference is, that you are not required to send the entity body. If you want to optimize, than you could get the method from the request, and than decide, if you have to read the full entity boy, for example. Don't forget, that you have to set the entity headers, also in HEAD.
