Head request support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Monticello does a fairly big amount of #includesFileNamed: requests which
- do a complete filelist request

as an improvement one can do a GET request for the given fail and check the 
response status.
However a HEAD request would be sufficient and much faster:

[ ZnEasy get: 
'http://mc.stfx.eu/ZincHTTPComponents/Zinc-HTTP-SvenVanCaekenberghe.261.mcz' ] 
timeToRun. 454
[ ZnEasy head: 
'http://mc.stfx.eu/ZincHTTPComponents/Zinc-HTTP-SvenVanCaekenberghe.261.mcz' ] 
timeToRun. 92

would it be possible to add this support for gemstone?

ACK.

Hope the underlying adaptors support HEAD…
