I have not found a way to look at file information using IDLnetURL without downloading the file first. With IDLnetURL, you have to perform a Get, then look at the response header. Below is an example of how to get the response header.
IDL> oURL = IDLnetURL()
% Loaded DLM: URL.
IDL> info = oURL -> Get(URL=' ftp://spdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/data/omni/omni_cdaweb/hro_5min/ 1981/omni_hro_5min_19811201_v01.cdf')
IDL> oURL -> GetProperty, RESPONSE_HEADER=rh
IDL> print, rh

Well, that was interesting...
Apparently NASA will not give you a meaningful response header. This is how I normally do it, though. There should be a "Last-Modified" field that you can look for to parse the information you want.
IDL> file = oURL -> Get(URL=' http://emfisis.physics.uiowa.edu/Flight/RBSP-A/L3/2013/02/02 /rbsp-a_magnetometer_4sec-geo_emfisis-L3_20130202_v1.3.2.cdf')
IDL> ourl -> GetProperty, RESPONSE_HEADER=rh
IDL> print, rh
