should return the complete http header.

Than we can extract what's needed to know.
Like Cookies.

This would be very helpfull.

Nice idea. I guess GetHTTPHeader() could be deprecated then if a new #PB_Http_HeaderOnly flag is added.

No, is still needed.

Else you can not check how large a file is what you need to download before you download it.
Maybe you need to check if the file fits in your free memory before you download it.
That's only possible with GetHTTPHeader(), because it makes no real download.

That's why I added: "if a new #PB_Http_HeaderOnly flag is added."

Great request, I really hope this can be added for 5.71!

Right now I am resorting to curl.exe because I need access to Cookies / other headers returned from a server.

You don't need curl.exe

libcurl is included in PB. You can use libcurl.pbi (search) to implement what's needed.

+1 for this, I need it to use tinypng properly:
