Okay I figured it out. Instagram has an extra measure in place that doesn't allow HEAD requests. I'll fork and make a pull request. #593

@fntkg This is a strange issue. Someone did email me about this but I haven't been able to figure out why this is happening. I am able to check if a username exists on Instagram on a seperate script, but it fails when using Sherlock.

Yes, for Instagram, it is not showing username.

This has been included in #599 as there was a non-trivial merge in including #593.
