Fully agreed: this would make Tails' htpdate harder to distinguish
from the TBB at the level of a single request / access.log line,
and only stand out in aggregate.
I created todo/have_htpdate_send_GET_instead_of_HEAD,
tagged todo/discuss until we reach consensus here.
Once this part is sorted out, both "looking more like Torbrowser at
the level of a single request" (by constructing the request by hand)
and "looking more like Torbrowser in aggregate" would probably be nice
to have too (maintainable patches welcome!), but quite low priority
IMHO in our current roadmap:
