path parameter ignored in http.can_use_head function?

[Robin Wood <robin () digininja org>]

Hi
I'm testing the http-headers.nse script and tried passing in a path
argument but it seems to be ignored. I added some debug to print the
path so I know that it is getting through to the path variable but
when I check my server logs the path requested is /.  It looks like
the http.can_use_head function is broken.

I'm running this on a Mac if that makes any difference.
