Get HTTP response header
HTTP response headers are colon-separated key/value pairs that contain information such as server type, usually Nginx/Apache, content type, and HTTP status code.
The -I
option allows you to view the HTTP response headers of the specified URL resource, as well as custom response headers set in Nginx or Apache.
For example, the command curl -I https://en.myfreax.com/
prints the URL https://www.ubuntu.com/
response header.
curl -I --http2 https://www.ubuntu.com/
