No, whatever this was just asked for the HTTP headers that indicate file size, last changed date, etc. I've seen reports that some search engines do this, but have never encountered it myself.

BTW, the domain these requests came from was AOL.

Since it was AOL, it was (most likely) the AOL proxy checking to see if they needed to update any pages.

AOL has an elaborate proxy system that caches content. An AOL user was probably accessing your site and the AOL proxy was checking to see if the content had changed or if it could just use its local copy.
