> Is there a way to trigger response without downloading the contents of a page first?

I decided to spawn curl and scan use its response for the content type. It is much faster when searching for data files.

spawn, 'curl -I -s' + url, response

To check for curl, I try

spawn, 'which curl', response
if response ne '' then hasCurl = 1 else hasCurl = 0
