[Done] PB 5.72 HTTPRequest() does not work as it should

HTTPRequest() does not work correctly in conjunction with #PB_HTTP_HeadersOnly.
As it seems, the file is downloaded completly internally and only then the HttpHeaders are displayed!

Here's an example:

Code:

InitNetwork()
  HttpRequest = HTTPRequest (#PB_HTTP_Get, "https://mirror.dogecloud.org/Linux/Mint/stable/19.3/linuxmint-19.3-cinnamon-64bit.iso","",#PB_HTTP_HeadersOnly)
  If HttpRequest
    Debug "Header:" + HTTPInfo (HTTPRequest, #PB_HTTP_Headers)
    FinishHTTP (HTTPRequest)
  Else
   Debug  "Request creation failed"
  EndIf

With GetHTTPHeaders() you get the headers immediately without downloading the complete file!

Code:

InitNetwork()
Debug GetHTTPHeader("https://mirror.dogecloud.org/Linux/Mint/stable/19.3/linuxmint-19.3-cinnamon-64bit.iso")

That's not good!

Sorry, this doesn't help you, but on 5.72 final Windows it seems correct:

- GetHTTPHeader() finishes quickly
- HTTPRequest() with #HeadersOnly finishes quickly
- full file request takes a long time
