Thanks, I will try suppressing the host header.

Would there happen to be a programmatic option to do the same?
Thanks,
Sonia.

Basically all HTTP/1.0 servers support (if only to ignore) a Host:
header,
and it has existed since before HTTP/1.1 came out. Still, if the server
is improperly set up you might see that result. Have you tried disabling
the Host: header (with the -0 -H Host: options) and seeing if that
solves
the problem? It could also be that the URL you are using doesn't
support
HEAD requests.
