Memory should not be allocated based on Content length header for HEAD request.
responseContents = new byte[0];
should be used for HEAD requests to avoid using device memory.
It is possible to test the issue with HEAD method against huge PDF file (~100-150 Mb). Such request usually end up with OOM exception. With this fix it will get back with reponse very fast and without using extra memory.
