<p>Here is a short example program to help you get up to speed with HttpClient.
It checks to see if a resource exists using the <code>HEAD</code> method.</p>
<source><![CDATA[
public boolean testURL(String url) {
HttpMultiClient client = new HttpMultiClient();
HttpUrlMethod method = null;
int status = -1;
try {
method = new UrlHeadMethod(url);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("Could not test malformed URL: "+
url + ": " + e.getMessage());
}
method.setFollowRedirects(true);
status = client.executeMethod(method);
return (status == HttpStatus.SC_OK);
}
]]></source>
<p>If you have many requests to make, you will probably want to reuse these
objects. <code>HttpMultiClient</code>'s executeMethod method is threadsafe, while the
<code>HttpUrlMethod</code> objects can be recycled after they're used.</p>
