request(Head.new(path, initheader), &block)
end
Sends a HEAD request to the server; returns an instance of a subclass of Net::HTTPResponse.
The request is based on the Net::HTTP::Head object created from string path and initial headers hash initheader.
Example
http = Net::HTTP.new(hostname) http.head('/todos/1') # => #<Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true>
