HEAD should be treated the same as GET?

I'm curious where the similarities fall apart with Apache 2.2. Why do
I get a 200 response code for "GET / HTTP/1.0", yet I get a 403 when
using "HEAD / HTTP/1.0"? Is this a configuration issue or is it just
part of the way Apache handles HEAD requests? I apologize beforehand
for my newbiness.

Sound more like a configuration issue; it could be that you've only
allowed GET (and perhaps POST) methods to be served.
