Unable to retrieve some document header

I'm trying to retrieve the header for a web page without downloading the
document body, so i set the option CGLOPT_NOBODY.
 
I correctly recieve the header when i pass a direct URL (ex:
http://www.microsoft.com <http://www.microsoft.com/> ) but when a gives an
URL that is redirected (like http://www.yahoo.com/r/fi
<http://www.yahoo.com/r/fi> ) i don't recieve any header at all until i
download the body of the document.
 
Does any buddy know a work around this problem since i relly don't want to
download the body of the document only to retrieve its header!
 
Thanks!
