Using HEAD TRACE OPTIONS with http

How can I use http request methods like HEAD, TRCAE, OPTIONS etc with
urlConnection.
I tried setRequestProperty("TRACE", "") but still I get the contents
of the file.

if you can't do it that way, you can do it with raw sockets.  See
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/fileio.html for how.

Did you try HttpUrlConnection.setRequestMethod()?

have a look at the code at http://mindprod.com/products1.html#HTTP

Get that working then gradually modify it to your needs.  It may help
to start from some code that already works.
