Good that you ask then. I can't write a definite and detaied text there that
tells you exactly what the problem is and how to fix it since you may actually
want to do exactly what you ask of curl - hence it is just a warning.

So what exactly do you want to do?

Yes, -I (--head) is the option to ask for a HEAD request.
