In the curls executed for node link report, only the curl headers are being requested in an effort to keep them fast. This creates some false failures as some sites block header only curls as a 405 response so they look like a failure. It would be nice if we could maintain speed by curling headers, but in the event of a 405 response, we double check it with a full curl to validate that it actually works.

I just added the code to make it try a full curl if it receives a 405 response.
