* The HTTP HEAD method is defined in section 9.4 of * RFC2616: *
* The HEAD method is identical to GET except that the server MUST NOT * return a message-body in the response. The metainformation contained * in the HTTP headers in response to a HEAD request SHOULD be identical * to the information sent in response to a GET request. This method can * be used for obtaining metainformation about the entity implied by the * request without transferring the entity-body itself. This method is * often used for testing hypertext links for validity, accessibility, * and recent modification. ** * * @since 4.0 */ @NotThreadSafe public class HttpHeadHC4 extends HttpRequestBaseHC4 { public final static String METHOD_NAME = "HEAD"; public HttpHeadHC4() { super(); } public HttpHeadHC4(final URI uri) { super(); setURI(uri); } /** * @throws IllegalArgumentException if the uri is invalid. */ public HttpHeadHC4(final String uri) { super(); setURI(URI.create(uri)); } @Override public String getMethod() { return METHOD_NAME; } }
