Call but not download a page with wget

Call but not download a page with wget I was wondering if there was any argument that allowed me to use wget and "call" a page, but without downloading the page.

"Use the --spider option.

--spider

When invoked with this option, Wget will behave as a Web spider,
which means that it will not download the pages, just check that
they are there. You can use it to check your bookmarks, e.g. with:

wget --spider --force-html -i bookmarks.html"
