I tried to use HeadMethodWebRequest, but I have problems because it is
calling the HTMLParser I set with HTMLParserFactory.setHTMLParser(...)
which it shouldn't be doing because HEAD will have no body in the response.

I tried to look in the unit tests, and I see no tests
for HeadMethodWebRequest.  Perhaps the test server doesn't
support it because this gave me a 404:

  public void testHead() throws Exception {
    defineResource( "SimplePage.html",
        "<html><head><title>A Sample Page</title></head>\n" +
        "<body>Hello</body></html>\n" );
    HttpUnitOptions.setExceptionsThrownOnErrorStatus(true);
    WebConversation wc = new WebConversation();
    WebRequest request = new HeadMethodWebRequest( getHostPath() + "/SimplePage.html" );
    WebResponse simplePage = wc.getResponse( request );
  }

Thanks,
Dan
