Dim http As New ChilkatHttp
Dim url As String
url = "https://www.example.com/"

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' The GetHead method is deprecated:

Dim resp1 As ChilkatHttpResponse
Set resp1 = http.GetHead(url)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = 0) Then
    Debug.Print http.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.Print resp1.StatusCode

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' 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.

Dim resp2 As New ChilkatHttpResponse
Dim success As Long
success = http.HttpNoBody("HEAD",url,resp2)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print http.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.Print resp2.StatusCode
