Subject: Re: rest-client get header only

Thanks Michael, tried to use the :method => :head, but couldn't get it 
to fly.
Sure there is a way of using that method if you know your way round ruby 
better than I.  Cheers for the suggestion.

Thanks Mark that cracked it!

Now able to get the filename, and the actual data, so I can save to 
disk, rather than using a default name for the data as I was before.

Many thanks,

Keith.
