Re: why must HEAD always go over the network when online?

AMB> Try this patch and let me know if it works
I'm sorry my man. I got several steps down the ./configure process but
then I realized me installing all the compiler equipment etc. is
harder than just staying hooked on the Debian sugar, and just keeping
my fingers crossed that on Debian one day eventually HEAD will never
turn into GET (I use HEAD to see how big something is before I dare to
GET it), and HEAD will tell me the size, so I don't have to type
wwwoffle -O|sed /^.$/q to see if it is in the header, and HEAD will
act like GET in terms of when to look in the cache vs. when to go on
the network.
