I think it should at least be possible for the servlet to determine if it was called due to a HEAD or to a GET request (in order to handle them different). In some cases (which matter for our application) it may be much more time consuming to get a lot of data from a database to build a page than to simply fetch a date of last modification and return that to the client. The difference would not so much concern "normal" users but search engines. These sometimes fetch many "pages" via HEAD to check if they would have to be re-fetched and indexed in total.
