Subject: HEAD requests are not supported
It seems that HEAD requests with Accept: headers always return a response with Content-Type: text/html even if other actions exist which would return a different Content-Type. This may be a generic problem with how HEAD requests are handled in Catalyst?

I should add that I'm not trying to provide my own HEAD responses with my actions, just letting Catalyst do it's thing. I noticed this behaviour because I was testing Accept: handling with HEAD requests, only to find that my tests were bogus until I made actual GET requests.
