@macroz: Really? I'll look into it

@joshg: No. The HEAD method should avoid creating the response body. HTTP allows for certain headers like Content-Length to be omitted because that would otherwise be hard to deduce eith generating the body. The point of HEAD is to provide metadata inexpensively.

@malcomsparks I did not investigate why that dependency did not end up in my project (should be compile scope stuff automatically?) but that solution worked for me

happy camper otherwise for now
