Comment:

 [attachment:35979.diff] specifies the `limit_response_size` parameter for
 HTTP requests, that will cause it to only request a maximum of 150kb of
 data (the same limit we apply to Pingback verification requests).

 The change to `</head>` detection is incase there's >150KB of data in the
 `<head>` (crazy, but plausible).
