这很好用：
import urllib2
request = urllib2.Request('http://localhost:8080')
request.get_method = lambda : 'HEAD'
response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
print response.info()
经过python入侵的快速而肮脏的HTTPd的测试：
Server: BaseHTTP/0.3 Python/2.6.6
Date: Sun, 12 Dec 2010 11:52:33 GMT
Content-type: text/html
X-REQUEST_METHOD: HEAD
我添加了一个自定义标头字段X-REQUEST_METHOD以显示它的工作:)
这是HTTPd日志：
Sun Dec 12 12:52:28 2010 Server Starts - localhost:8080
localhost.localdomain - - [12/Dec/2010 12:52:33] "HEAD / HTTP/1.1" 200 -
编辑：还有httplib2
import httplib2
h = httplib2.Http()
resp = h.request("http://www.google.com", 'HEAD')
