Checking the existence of a directory request contents

The HEAD request to check the existence of a directory has these elements:

If you’re accessing the namespace as an authenticated user, an Authorization header

The URL of the directory

By default, you can't check the existence of a directory if it has been deleted. If the namespace supports versioning, you can check for deleted objects and directories. To do this, specify this URL query parameter:

deleted=true

You can also specify deleted=false, which results in the default behavior.
