(Chilkat2-Python) 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.

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

http = chilkat2.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..

resp = chilkat2.HttpResponse()

if (success == False):
    print(http.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Examine the response.
