  1. Use HTTP head instead of GET by default 

    This patch replaces the http GET request with HEAD. HEAD requests should
be handled identically, but the response does not contain message
body. GET will still be used when @get_request option is set to true.

Replacing the get_response (which calls GET internally) with a new
http HEAD request would mean code duplication. Thus, the part that does
the actual ping is refactored to a separate private method.
This also means that new requests resulting from redirections are
now subject to timeout limit and they'll correctly use https.
