I want to read headers from web page and check whether its Content-Type

xml or not.I used the following code
...
request = urllib2.Request(url, None, USER_AGENT)
opener = urllib2.build_opener()
datastream = opener.open(request)
if datastream.headers.get('Content-Type','').find('xml') == -1:
raise "Its not xml!"
else:
"""
Read the content and process
"""
...
Is this the good way to read headers ? ,as i do not want the content
,unless
it is xml.
Please suggest me,if there are some other good methods to read only the
headers.
The best way is to issue an HTTP HEAD request -- so only the headers are
sent. Search this newsgroup for some ways of doing that. Ok, see this
