Description

Hosted Chef API seems to have changed a bit, and now there are several methods that don't allow the HEAD verb. Using the version header has also no effect, so there is no way to force the old behavior (even when the API docs say it is possible).

A general review of the api and live tests should be performed, taking special care of:

• The problematic HEAD methods should be refactored to perform a GET operation.
• The cookbook parsing and construction should be also reviewed as some fields have become mandatory in the latest version.
