Only retrieve the headers of a GET reply and return?

Hello.

Is there a simple clean way to only retrieve the headers of a GET reply
and return without retrieving the data.

Maybe something similar to CURLOPT_NOBODY but with GET.

I need this because some servers send an empty reply or never reply to
HEAD. And I need to know some info (included in GET reply headers)
before retrieving/writing any data.
