Is there a way to determine a link to a file is valid (exists)?

I have found examples using httprequest, but I don't want to retrieve the
entire file, just verify it's existence.
These examples work very well when a link does not exist. But not so much
on
valid ones. The files these links point to can be quite large in some
cases
making such functions useless if the entire thing must be retrieved.

Thanks


Try setting the Method property to "HEAD" ... the web server will be
instructed not to send the entire body
