Default How to check from command line if a certain URL exists?

How can I check from command line (!) if a certain URL e.g.

http://192.168.0.47:4050/aaa/bbb/m.html

exists?

Again: Typing in the URL in browser is not the way I am searching for.
It should be detected from command line

Inside a command window there are no such commands. That is one reason
why internet browsers exist. You can do tracert and/or ping to an i.p.
address or to a named domain.

Strictly speaking, ping won't tell you whether a URL exists or not. It
will just indicate whether you can reach the domain from your computer
at that particular time. There were a few times when microsoft.com
didn't respond to a ping, but it wasn't that it didn't exist.
