+/**
+ * HTTP HEAD method.
+ * <p>
+ * The HTTP HEAD method is defined in section 9.4 of 
+ * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt">RFC2616</a>:
+ * <blockquote>
+ * The HEAD method is identical to GET except that the server MUST NOT
+ * return a message-body in the response. The metainformation contained
+ * in the HTTP headers in response to a HEAD request SHOULD be identical
+ * to the information sent in response to a GET request. This method can
+ * be used for obtaining metainformation about the entity implied by the
+ * request without transferring the entity-body itself. This method is
+ * often used for testing hypertext links for validity, accessibility,
+ * and recent modification.
+ * </blockquote>
+ * </p>
