Question 333634 deals with head requests but not cross domain requests. – Noctis Skytower Jun 29 '12 at 18:33

Unfortunately, no. Cross-domain requests (e.g., JSONP, image loads) must load the whole resource with a GET.
If bandwidth is an issue but latency is not, you can create a server-side script on the same domain to proxy the HEAD request.
