Well, this really depends on how the site was written, I think. If you're writing something with CF, and someone makes an HTTP HEAD request, it's up to you to abort processing to prevent the execution of the page after generation of HTTP response headers. It's possible that the web server truncates the request anyway, and that behavior may be dependent on the specific web server for all I know, but you're typically more concerned (as the publisher) with reducing the amount of time needed to respond to the request.
