Which is precisely why the URL loading system is asynchronous by  
design. You should set up the connection, wait until the  
NSURLResponse is received and then cancel the connection before it

It'll return whatever response is appropriate for your request.  
Setting the HTTP method of your request to HEAD will get you what  
you're looking for.

Actually, it is. It's just named slightly differently...
