Subject: [PATCH] inets: Fix handling of HTTP HEAD requests in httpc

httpc could not handle HEAD requests when the response contained
the header 'Transfer-Encoding: chunked' and no message-body.
According to RFC2616 a server MUST NOT return a message-body in
the response.

This commit fixes httpc while preserving its robust behavior to
gracefully handle a faulty response with chunked-encoded empty
message-body.
