Eivind Uggedal 092f34feca http: make HEAD client request follow redirects
HEAD requests should in my opinion have the ability to follow redirects
like the implementation of GET requests does. My use case is polling
several thousand severs to check if they respond with 200 status codes.
Using GET requests is neither efficient in running time of the task nor
for bandwidth consumption.

This suggested patch changes the return signature of http.Head() to match
that of http.Get(), providing the final URL in a redirect chain.

`curl -IL http://google.com` follows redirects with HEAD requests just fine.

Fixes #1806.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
directory (the one containing this README).  You can omit the
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html).
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
put the following in your .profile:

    export GOROOT=$HOME/go
    export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See doc/install.html for more details.
