Comment:

 In [changeset:"22347"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="22347"
 When receiving a HEAD request, die() right before we start outputting
 content.

 * Content doesn't make sense for HEAD requests
 * Saves wear and tear on the server
 * Introduces a filter: exit_on_http_head (we send TRUE through it)

 fixes #14348. props mbijon, mitchoyoshitaka.
