Description

It's the last survivor of the "response_fixes" and I think it should go away.

Graham Dumpleton has described better than I would why frameworks should leave the task stripping the body of HEAD requests to servers: http://blog.dscpl.com.au/2009/10/wsgi-issues-with-http-head-requests.html (first five paragraphs).

We should check whether mod_wsgi, gunicorn and uwsgi properly strip the body of HEAD requests before proceeding. We should also move that behavior into runserver -- that is, on the other side of the WSGI.
