INFO is a request to the storage cluster to provide information about a specific object. The INFO message is identical in semantics to the READ request, except that the object (if found) is not returned in the response. If the referenced content is found in the cluster, only the meta-information about that object is returned in the form of response headers. The INFO request is formatted as a simple an HTTP request using the HEAD method.

Different Content-Length values in the responses display if ?checkIntegrity is added to HEAD and GET requests for the same object. This occurs because the HEAD response returns the Content-Length of the manifest rather than the object.

Additionally, all future requests of this storage cluster should be made through the new access node until another 301 response is received. There is no message-body, so the content length is always 0. The value of the Location header indicates which node in the cluster should receive the redirect.
