Testing Web Server - 500 error

We have been testing a  external web server for about two
years now and
usually received a 405 response code back.  We modified BB
to indicate
that this was a green condition.  Well it seems that the
site no longer
will accept head requests and returns a 500 Internal Server
Error.  Is
there any suggestions on how to test the site now that it
will no longer
handle head requests.  GET requests return a 405 which we
can live with,
but we really do not want to modify BB to test all sites
with a GET
request instead of a head request unless we have to.  Is
there any
suggestions on how to handle this one site?
