Keepalive does not work with HTTP HEAD method

The program is below.
first argument - URL to track.
start and do
netstat -a
in a different window.
With HEAD it creates new connection for every request,
with GET - keepalaive seems working.

public class tt2 {
    public static void main(String []args) throws Exception
    {
for(int i=0;i<1000;i++) {
final java.net.URL url=new java.net.URL(args[0]+i);
java.net.HttpURLConnection hconn =(java.net.HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
hconn.setRequestMethod("HEAD");
hconn.setUseCaches(true);
hconn.connect();
hconn.getInputStream().close();
System.err.println("Try "+url);
}
    }
}
