How do I get WinInet to reuse socket connections for HEAD requests

I am seeing that my application which uses asynchronous WinInet calls reuses
the socket connections for GET requests, but not for HEAD requests.  Both the
request and response have Connection: keep-alive headers, but WinInet makes a
new connection for each HEAD request.
(I see this with both IE6 and IE7 versions of WinInet.  And the packet
traces show that the client is sending the TCP FIN.)
