 Replying to [comment:39 mitchoyoshitaka]:
 > I don't think the action `head_request` and triggering it in the tests
 is the best way to test this. Why not simply set
 `$_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] = 'HEAD'` and check that it ends with no
 input?

 Sorry, nevermind. That is essentially what you're doing. I spoke too
 early.

 Is wrapping this code in an action in order to check just its behavior
 necessary for the test? This isn't a realistic test for checking that no
 output is printed, then, as it doesn't actually run all the code that
 would happen in a normal request before getting to the `head_request`
 point. Or maybe I'm missing something?
