Makes a HEAD request on the provided ``path`` and returns a
``Response`` object. This method works just like :meth:`Client.get`,
including the ``follow`` and ``extra`` arguments, except it does not
return a message body.
If you set ``follow`` to ``True`` the client will follow any redirects
and a ``redirect_chain`` attribute will be set in the response object
containing tuples of the intermediate urls and status codes.

If you set ``follow`` to ``True`` the client will follow any redirects
and a ``redirect_chain`` attribute will be set in the response object
containing tuples of the intermediate urls and status codes.
When ``data`` is provided, it is used as the request body, and
a ``Content-Type`` header is set to ``content_type``.
The ``extra`` argument acts the same as for :meth:`Client.get`.
