The test results for mac-wk2 and mac-ews are consistent.
Redirected HEAD requests remain HEAD for 307 redirections but not for 301, 302 and 303 redirections.
Looking at ResourceHandleCFNet.cpp, specific code enforces using the same method after 307 redirections.
Changing the behavior could be done there. Doing it at a lower level may make more sense?

To go on with the current patch, I can add a mac specific test expected file or skip the test for mac.
Option 1 has the benefit of ensuring that no regression happens on the current behavior.
Any suggestion?
