Purpose

Invokes the HEAD method.

Examples

DSL Usage

ClientResponse response = jerseyRequestBuilder.head {
    uri = "http://example.com"
}

Quick Usage

ClientResponse response = jerseyRequestBuilder.head("http://example.com")

Builder Usage

RequestProperties requestProperties = new RequestProperties()
requestProperties.uri = "http://example.com"
ClientResponse response = jerseyRequestBuilder.head(requestProperties)

Description

Invokes the HEAD method against the requested URI. The return from this method is always a ClientResponse, since the important part of the response exists in the response headers.

HEAD requests do not contain an entity, so the form and body properties are ignored.
