HttpWebResponse: closing the stream
Using ASP.NET is it possible to make a request and get only response headers? I have to do a request to a big file, but I only need the response headers, i dont care about the content of the file.
I would like to know if there is something similar to get_headers from php (http://php.net/manual/en/function.get-headers.php).
I’m not sure how to do this natively, but at a minimum, you could use a custom HTTP handler (ASHX) file to create the headers you need, and return nothing else in the response.
Update:
If you set
WebRequest.Method = "HEAD"then the server should automatically only return the Headers. This is according to W3.
