(Node.js) Transition from Http.GetHead to Http.HttpNoBody

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated GetHead method calls with HttpNoBody.

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

Install Chilkat for Node.js and Electron using npm at Chilkat npm packages for Node.js Chilkat npm packages for Electron on Windows, Linux, MacOS

    // ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Do the equivalent using HttpNoBody.
    // Your application creates a new, empty response object which is passed 
    // in the last argument and filled with the HTTP response upon success.
