Is the HEAD response faster than the GET?
问题 I'm currently getting the info about the files with GET, will it be faster if I rewrite it using HEAD request? Cause I close the connection after the first response. 回答1: A HEAD response only includes the HTTP headers but no body - it is generally faster to just use a HEAD if you do not use any information in the body that would have normally transferred in a GET response - if there was no body to begin with it should not make a difference. Also from here: The HEAD method is identical to GET
