Re: [development] HTTP headers to get the head of the page

I havent tried it doing it with drupal but try passing method = HEAD. HEAD /index.html would fetch only headers of that resource, where as GET for instance would also return the content. Cheers dipen On Sun, Dec 6, 2009 at 7:52 PM, nitin gupta <nitingupta.iitg@gmail.com>wrote:

Hi,

I am currently using curl (CURLOPT_NOBODY) to exclude the body and to just get the headers returned by the sever for a http request. I am specifically interested in the return status code and the content length. Can I do it using drupal_http_request? What will be the suitable value for the $headers, so that I don't need to download the whole page?
