 Description  « Hide
RFC 2616, 9.4 HEAD :
8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---
 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.
8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---

Could we make sure that nothing is returned to the client ? Perhaps by making sure that req.write does nothing whenever the request method is HEAD ?
