Bonjour,
Est-ce qu’il serait possible de supporter la méthode HEAD (comme GET, POST, PUT, PATCH) pour les transferts de fichiers flux? Cela permettrait de verifier la disponibilité des fichiers et de récupérer la taille des fichiers pour allouer l’espace disque avant transfert.
Merci
The HEAD Method in HTTP Has Several Use Cases and Examples
-
Use Case 1: Checking Resource Availability
- Example: A web crawler can send a HEAD request to check if a webpage has been modified since the last crawl by comparing the response headers (such as Last-Modified) with the previously stored values.
-
Use Case 2: Obtaining Resource Metadata
- Example: A client application can send a HEAD request to retrieve metadata about a file, such as its size or MIME type, without downloading the entire file content.
-
Use Case 3: Monitoring Resource Health
- Example: A monitoring tool can periodically send HEAD requests to verify the availability and responsiveness of a web server by checking the response status codes (e.g., 200 for OK or 404 for Not Found).
The HEAD method is primarily used for lightweight operations that require retrieving resource information without transferring the actual content.
