OK ... I prepared the code in order to allow the tests. I created a static
attribute for HtHTTP class that let us control the way we make HTTP requests.
My process (HEAD + GET eventually) is now set by default, but just by
calling the DisableHeadBeforeGet() it is disabled, and the normal process
(GET) is followed.
I think we can instantiate a configuration option, in the future ...
I may reasonably think that it can work, and that only needs to be deeply
tested.
