There are some...well...at least one. I can't name it, but I've seen it's
requests. I suspect strongly that it's a MacOS application.
What burns my socks is when an Origin Server returns a body with the response to
a HEAD (because we're talking to a CGI that ignores the request method, and
assumes everything must be a GET). Some webservers cut the body off before
returning the HEAD response; Some return a server error; Some leave it on.
