I bet the OP is trying to do HEAD on a directory as there was talk
elsethread about trying to discover ACLs on a directories...that's not
going to generate a C-L. And, C-L is not meaningful in anyway on
directories - only actual resources. mod_autoindex doesn't do it either:

% curl --head https://archive.apache.org/dist/
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sat, 10 Nov 2012 11:53:36 GMT
Server: Apache/2.4.1 (Unix) OpenSSL/1.0.0g
Content-Type: text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1

(The only way to generate the C-L would be to run through the
response...which we don't do for HEAD.)

HTH. -- justin
