Hi,

I need to differentiate between a GET request and a HEAD request in a controller action. If it’s a HEAD request, I want to skip executing the entire function; I only want to execute it for GET requests. This adjustment is necessary to accommodate Microsoft’s SafeLinks feature. How can I achieve this? Can I return TRUE in HEAD requests?

```
    $this->request->allowMethod(['get']);

```

if ($this-\>request-\>is([‘get’])) {  
// Do Your Logic Here  
}

Thank you. Can I do different logic for `get` and `head` request?  
I mean something like:

```auto
if ($this->request->is([‘get’])) {
// Do Your Logic Here
} else if ($this->request->is([‘head’])) {
return true;
}

```

Will this block `head` requests? `$this->request->allowMethod(['get']);`  
Because i want to allow `head` requests too, but I do not want the code to be executed when it is a `head` request

Yes, You Can do like this

$this-\>request-\>allowMethod([‘get’, ‘head’]);

if ($this-\>request-\>is([‘get’])) {  
// Do Your Logic Here  
}else if ($this-\>request-\>is([‘head’])) {  
// Do Your Logic Here  
}

you can allow diffrent method as you wish
