Yeah, you're right. I'll close this out.

Could it be 'wget -S --spider ...' as equivalent of '--head' from curl? It works on HTTP and FTP, and gives some more information from header.

From IRC:

<twb> Hey, what's the wget equivalent of curl's --head option, so that I get the HTTP headers instead of the file content?

---

This seems like a reasonable feature. Curl and LWP's HEAD command already do this well, but we shouldn't require users to install those if they already have wget, and just want the HEAD response on a file...
