Description Julian Reschke 2014-02-11 07:35:37 UTC

It appears that HEAD requests are slow (for some value of slow); maybe they time out because something is waiting for the payload?

The comments in the code are somewhat misleading because RFC 2616 is obsolete.

That being said: thanks for fixing this.
