Java: get page headers and then close connection
I would like to get only the page titles for the url without loading the page content. This is what I am currently using:
...
URL targetUrl = new URL( urlValue );
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) targetUrl.openConnection();
String value = conn.getHeaderField(0);
...
I'm not sure if this will cause the headers to stop or do anything.

Submit your HEAD
request instead GET
(which is the default method).
conn.setRequestMethod("HEAD");
// ...
Otherwise, the full response body is returned.
