How to send HTTP HEAD request?
The HTTP HEAD request method is used to request HTTP headers from the server. The HTTP HEAD method is similar to the HTTP GET method, except that the server does not return the content of the requested resource. The HEAD method is used to get additional information about a resource, such as a resource size, availability, and last modification date, before downloading it. The HTTP HEAD requests, like an HTTP GET, cannot contain data in the message's body; the request data must be passed to the server in the URL. In this HTTP HEAD request example, we are sending a HEAD request to the ReqBin echo URL. Click Send to run the HEAD request online and see the results.
