[XMLHttpRequest] `HEAD` request doesn't work
See original GitHub issueThe same request works fine on iOS, on Android it fails with TypeError: Network request failed. It used to work few version ago and no changes were done on the API or app side. Replacing the method from HEAD to GET and also making an extra endpoint on the API side temporarily resolves the issue (worth noting that the API handler itself stays unchanged, to the logic is the same)
AFAIK it has something to do with OkHTTP since: a) it works flawlessly on iOS b) it never reaches the API
I am not sure if that was fixed recently in OkHttp, but I guess it’s kind of a blocker until we upgrade to 3.x ?

We are seeing this same error:
[TypeError: Network request failed]in our HEAD requests in React Native 0.41.2I made a PR to fix the issue.
The problem is that the HEAD request do not have body and at this part of the code React Native will try to convert it to a string.
OkHttpis not able to convert it and produces an exception.
