Perhaps something along the lines of the following?

>>> url = r'http://www.4so9.com/cauca/files/ban-doc/francois/stingray/198%20lb%20stingray%201%20.JPG'
>>> proxy = 'proxy02:8080'
>>> import httplib
>>> c = httplib.HTTPConnection(proxy)
>>> c.request('GET', url)
>>> resp = c.getresponse()
>>> for k in resp.msg.keys():
... 	print resp.msg.getallmatchingheaders(k)
...
