    I used it several times but I'm an Android dev, and getting only headers is pretty useful to check for file updates and stuff like that. You can save your user a lot of cell data working this way.

    Quite a few of the web RFCs are pretty good reading, even if you aren't a web dev. Give you lots of insights into the thought process that goes into these kinds of things.
