Hi,
I occasionally have need to get the headers from a www doc like server info and such.

Is there something I can use on my RH system?

Cheers

If you are working on a *nix computer there is a fairly standard utility named HEAD. As the name implies, it grabs header info.
It works like this:
$ HEAD webmasterworld.com
200 OK
Cache-Control: max-age=30
Connection: close
Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2002 17:32:43 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.19 (Unix) FrontPage/5.0.2.2510
Content-Type: text/html
Client-Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2002 17:23:44 GMT
Client-Peer: 64.33.51.156:80
X-Powered-By: WebmasterWorld v3.00

You have lynx?
lynx -head [webmasterworld.com...]
