RestHead performs an HTTP HEAD request to a URL. It is identical to RestGet except the server returns only the response headers, not the body. This makes it useful for:
- Checking if a resource exists (via status code)
- Reading metadata like
Content-Length,Content-Type,Last-Modified - Verifying API availability without downloading data
- Checking authentication before making a full request
How It Works in MDriven
Like all Rest operators in MDriven, RestHead is available on the selfVM variable and is used inside an EAL action on a ViewModel.
Syntax
selfVM.RestHead('https://yourapi.com/endpoint','','','YourNestingName')
