downloading only the header of a file

Question
I'm using mechanize for scraping a website which works nicely, however since you can't tell from a link what kind of file it is linking to e.g. http://somesite.com/images.php?get=123 is it possible to download only the header only?
It doesn't have to use mechanize but is there any Rails way of doing this?
No correct solution
OTHER TIPS
Mechanize has the headers available after downloading a file. page.header['xxx']
or file.header['xxx']
.
