    	The HEAD request is simply a means by which the remote party may
    identify your web server and information related to a given page without
    pulling down the entire page (thus saving some minor bandwidth).
    
    	See http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html for more
    information on HTTP method definitions.
