in reply to LWP::UserAgent and parse_head

It is my understanding that this method enables/disables parsing the <META HTTP-EQUIV> directives present in the <HEAD> section of an HTML document.

As explained in the W3C site, these metadata may be used by an HTTP server to set the relevant HTTP header in the response, for that specific document, e.g.:

<META http-equiv="Expires" content="Tue, 20 Aug 1996 14:25:27 GMT">

Would set the relevant Expires: header.

I presume that LPW::UserAgent can do the same, if the server doesn't bother doing it.
