Hi all,

I am using std.net.curl and would like to run a HEAD request to 
find out if a web page exists - I've looked at the documentation 
and have tried various things that haven't worked.

Thanks

Never mind, I've got it, the answer was in a previous issue: 
https://forum.dlang.org/post/mailman.301.1412409956.9932.digitalmars-d-bugs puremagic.com

```
import std.net.curl;

void main()
{
     auto http = HTTP("dlang.org/non-existing-url");
     http.onReceiveStatusLine = (HTTP.StatusLine s) {
         if (s.code != 200)
             throw new Exception("Request failed.");
     };
     http.method = HTTP.Method.head;
     http.perform();
}
```
