(.NET Core C#) HTTP HEAD Request

Sends an HTTP HEAD request and gets the response.

Note: The response to an HTTP HEAD request is always just the response header. The reponse body is always 0 length (thus the reason it's called a "HEAD" request..)

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

bool success = false;

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();

// If the URL uses "https://", then the connection will be TLS.
// Otherwise it will be TCP.

// A failure is when we don't get any response.  It could be a timeout, an inability to connect, etc.
// For example, a "404 Not Found" response is still a response, and thus deemed success in terms of the API..

Chilkat.HttpResponse resp = new Chilkat.HttpResponse();
success = http.HttpNoBody("HEAD","https://example-code.com/",resp);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Examine the response.
Debug.WriteLine("Status Code = " + Convert.ToString(resp.StatusCode));
Debug.WriteLine("Status Line = " + resp.StatusLine);
Debug.WriteLine("Status Text = " + resp.StatusText);
Debug.WriteLine("Full Response Header:");
Debug.WriteLine(resp.Header);
Debug.WriteLine("----");
int numHeaderFields = resp.NumHeaderFields;
Debug.WriteLine("Num Header Fields: " + Convert.ToString(numHeaderFields));
int i;
for (i = 0; i <= numHeaderFields - 1; i++) {
    Debug.WriteLine(resp.GetHeaderName(i) + ": " + resp.GetHeaderValue(i));
