RE: HEAD request

Hi,

If you need some tools to help you with creating HTTP(S) requests
easily, you may want to check out the Watchfire PowerTools, they are
free:

Specifically, the HTTP Request Editor and HTTP Proxy may be very useful
in your case.

Good Luck,

Subject: HEAD request

Hello all!!!

I am doing assessment of a web server

When I issue HEAD request using nc I don't get any response from the
webserver and I get disconnected after some time.
What should i conclude from that?Does it mean that the administrator has
blocked HEAD requests?

regards,
Vijay
