11/27   I need a unix utility that can check for existence of certain file on
        an ftp or http site without actually downloading it. What should I
        use?
        \_ wget --server-response -spider
           \_ I think wget -S is enough.  I don't think you need -spider.
              \_ You need --spider if you don't want to download the file.
                 \_ Hmm... I need a new wget.

        \_ Larry Ellison is a secret Tea Party supporter.
           Most of this article is bunk, btw. Boy are the Republicans
           getting desperate.
            \_ Umm, no.  Larry Ellison is a not so secret fascist.
