Bug Description

The proxy for the launchpad builders denies HEAD requests over HTTP while allowing them over HTTPS -- this has caused build failures for us when building packages which rely on tests which perform HTTP HEAD requests prior to fetching resources.

Mattermost discussion: https://chat.canonical.com/canonical/pl/6gmz8c5ytjbiudx4ujt4c3jsyo

Relevant section per @cjwatson:

        # Deny all except certain HTTP methods.
        - "!method": [GET, POST, CONNECT, OPTIONS, PROPFIND, REPORT]
          http_access: deny

It would be very helpful for us if HEAD requests were allowed

Thanks
