Dave, please. I know perfectly well what HTTP headers are, and I was
unable to view them using Jeff's method. And when I tried a HEAD
request, I got:

  <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
  <HTML><HEAD>
  <TITLE>400 Bad Request</TITLE>
  </HEAD><BODY>
  <H1>Bad Request</H1>
  Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.<P>
  client sent invalid HTTP/0.9 request: HEAD /index.html<P>
  </BODY></HTML>

So apparently this doesn't work for all servers.
