Description
Not all servers support the HEAD method. ADFS 3 (Windows Server 2012) for example returns a 500 error for such a request, where a GET request completes successfully.
It should be possible to specify which method to use for checking if the resource exists.

There won't be any new features in OpenSAML 2 prior to its EOL in July 2016.
You should look at moving to OpenSAML 3. The HttpResource there uses only the GET method for its exists() check.
