S3 Client not Exposing HeadBucket

Hello all,

I'm writing a code that uploading content to S3 bucket that resides at different account, i.e. I have a cross account scenario of uploading content to S3.

While writing the code I used GetBucketLocation API call to determine the bucket location, however on cross account scenario the GetBucketLocation fails since I'm not the bucket owner, in addition, I saw on AWS documentation that their recommendation is to use HeadBucket API call, however the SDK does not expose this API call and defined this call as internal.

Here is a snapshot from the SDK code:

internal virtual Task<HeadBucketResponse> HeadBucketAsync(HeadBucketRequest request, System.Threading.CancellationToken cancellationToken = default(CancellationToken))
        {
            var options = new InvokeOptions();
            options.RequestMarshaller = HeadBucketRequestMarshaller.Instance;
            options.ResponseUnmarshaller = HeadBucketResponseUnmarshaller.Instance;

            return InvokeAsync<HeadBucketResponse>(request, options, cancellationToken);
        }

Can we make this public for use?
