title: HTTP HEAD request with HttpClient in .NET 4.5 and C#
body: <p>Is it possible to create a HTTP HEAD request with the new <code>HttpClient</code> in .NET 4.5? The only methods I can find are <code>GetAsync</code>, <code>DeleteAsync</code>, <code>PutAsync</code> and <code>PostAsync</code>. I know that the <code>HttpWebRequest</code>-class is able to do that, but I want to use the modern <code>HttpClient</code>.</p>
