I know how to do a HEAD request with httplib, but I have to use mechanize for this site.

Essentially, what I need to do is grab a value from the header (filename) w

Answer 1

In mechanize there is no need to do HeadRequest class etc.

r = br.open("http://www.example.com/")

print r.info()

That's all.
