Get the version of an XML file without downloading it from the server

Youssef_Keyrouz asked:

Hello,
If there is an XML file on a server.
Is there a way to get it's version or last modified date without downloading the file and reading them from it?

Basically what I'm trying to do is to check if the file is a newer version than the one on my PC Download it, and if not, do not download it.

I now download it and check it's version. But I don't want to waste time downloading if it is the same version or has the same last modified date.

Thank you very much for any help. Hope my question was clear.
