How do I get response header from HTTP request?

package org.kodejava.net;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

public class HttpResponseHeaderDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            URL url = new URL("https://kodejava.org/index.php");
            URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();

            Map<String, List<String>> responseMap = connection.getHeaderFields();
            for (String key : responseMap.keySet()) {
                System.out.print(key + " = ");

                List<String> values = responseMap.get(key);
                for (String value : values) {
                    System.out.print(value + ", ");
                }
                System.out.println();
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

The result produced by the code above are:

null = HTTP/1.1 200 OK, 
Referrer-Policy = no-referrer-when-downgrade, 
Content-Length = 147566, 
Content-Type = text/html; charset=UTF-8, 
Connection = keep-alive, 
Date = Sun, 26 Sep 2021 03:59:06 GMT, 
Accept-Ranges = bytes, 
Vary = Accept-Encoding, Accept-Encoding, 
Link = <https://wp.me/8avgG>; rel=shortlink, <https://kodejava.org/wp-json/>; rel="https://api.w.org/",
