HEAD request

It can get the metadata information in the response header without transferring the whole response content. Metadata information includes media type, character encoding, compression encoding, entity content length, and so on.

The HEAD request can be used to determine whether the symbolLibs resource exists or whether the client has authority to access the symbolLibs resource. It can quickly determine whether the symbolLibs resource supports the representation in <format> format by performing HEAD request on URI with <format>.
