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

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

Dim resp1 As Chilkat.HttpResponse = http.GetHead(url)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.WriteLine(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 Chilkat.HttpResponse
Dim success As Boolean = http.HttpNoBody("HEAD",url,resp2)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.WriteLine(resp2.StatusCode)
