It's like a GET, but it only wants the timestamp in return. Browsers will ask for a HEAD if they are caching a copy of the document in the hope that they don't need to get another copy. But I think you said you were setting the pages to always expire, so no browser should be asking for this. Obviously one is, so you'd probably want to return the current date and time, which should be greater than the date and time you vended the document. Perhaps add some time (like a minute) to guarantee that. You'll want to double check the HTTP RFC for the definition of HEAD. I'm speaking from distant memory. Since WebKit pages are always derived, perhaps Page should default to the behavior I described. For applications whose pages really do stay the same over some period of time, the Page author could override this behavior.
