AFAIK, the only way to get libcurl to make a HEAD request (as you get here)
is to set CURLOPT_NOBODY to TRUE.

One might argue that CURLOPT_HTTPGET should "reset" that state when used, but
it isn't currently doing this, so you need to set CURLOPT_NOBODY back to
FALSE when you no longer wants nobody to be valid.

If you didn't use the NOBODY option, then I don't know why this causes a HEAD
request. Then you need to debug.
