Bug#349470: squid-prefetch: HEAD prefetch feature
Often a HEAD request is followed by a GET. It would be useful if squid-prefetch was aware of this and performed a GET when it sees a HEAD request. You mean, when squid-prefetch sees a HEAD request in the log, it should do a GET in anticipation of the other program doing a GET? If so, then I'd have to say not for the simple reason that squid-prefetech runs at least a second behind what is happening in real-time. It's likely that a program that has done a HEAD and is about to do a GET has already done so. Also, I'm not aware of any browsers that do a HEAD request before a GET when reading pages. Thus, it would only be programs doing downloads that would act such and those wouldn't get pre-fetched anyway. This, of course, is all speculation. Please let me know if you have reason to believe otherwise.

Why not make it an option - it needn't be on all of the time. This, of course, is all speculation. Please let me know if you have reason to believe otherwise.
