Probably a different issue - but we faced a similar problem where  
communication to Solr would fail on HEAD requests (that are used by the  
Solr PHP Client to find out if the configured Solr instance is actually  
running).
That was resolved by changing the Solr PHP Client to use regular POST (or  
GET) to find the instances.
The actual communication between is working just fine.
