HTTP sports the HEAD method ? which returns only the headers of a response, without the content itself: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods/HEAD HTTP GET and HEAD are semantically equivalent: GET returns both headers and body, while HEAD only returns the headers of the response. Gemini proper doesn't formally offer anything equivalent: a 20 response is an all or nothing proposition ? the equivalent of an HTTP GET only. In practice though, a Gemini HEAD request simply means a Gemini agent reading only the response status line ? and ignoring the content itself. ?? Gemini offers the following implementation suggestion to ?? Gemini agents: ? For clients ? drop the connection immediately after reading the status line ? For servers ? double check the network connection status before sending the content itself, perhaps even delaying it slightly That's all folks. ?0?
