Curl - Retrieve headers - empty response

Question

Using php when working with curl.

I'm attempting to only recive the headers.

I request from the following url: http://halens.se/kvinna-klader-bad-strand-baddrakter-93/baddrakt-074209/

My settings look like this:

  CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER     => true,
  CURLOPT_CERTINFO        => false,
  CURLOPT_CRLF            => true,
  CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT  => 15,
  CURLOPT_FAILONERROR     => true,
  CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION  => true,
  CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE    => true,
  CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT   => true,
  CURLOPT_HEADER          => true,
  CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS       => 15,
  CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS       => CURLPROTO_HTTP,
  CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS => CURLPROTO_HTTP,
  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER  => true,
  CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER  => false,
  CURLOPT_TIMEOUT         => 15,
  CURLOPT_HEADER          => true,
  CURLOPT_NOBODY          => true

But the response is empty.. What did I do wrong? or How can we solve this in an alternative way?

If I instead change the last setting to:

  CURLOPT_NOBODY          => false

Then I get the headers:

Not an answer to the specific : It seems a little bit weird and googling around I can see other people have struggling with this issue also (without getting closer to an explanation) - but are you aware of the get_headers function?

$header = get_headers('http://halens.se/kvinna-klader-bad-strand-baddrakter-93/baddrakt-074209/');
echo '<pre>';
print_r($header);
echo '</pre>';

outputs
