  * Disables redirects on HEAD requests.
  * Slight bug fix, Turns out that the Streams transport is not returning
 error-conditional pages, Adding {{{'ignore_errors' => true}}} fixed that.
 (Note: a 302 was classified as a error if it was set to not redirect).
 Result was that it was throwing the error "Could not open handle"
  * Disabled HEAD requests on one of the transports that cant handle
 HEAD's. See #11613 for a bug related to that, If a Request is made before
 it using GET, the result of the test for HEAD will fail as the GET request
 was cached.
