Nodejs request module return incorrect statusCode

I'm trying to use request module to get HTTP status code. But sometimes it works wrong. For example: 

var request = require('request');
var requestSettings = {
    method: 'HEAD',
    url: 'http://stackoverflow.com/help'
};
request(requestSettings, function(error, response, body) {
    console.log(response.statusCode);
});

This code returns 404 (not 200 as expected).
Why might this happen?
Thanks.
