Fast URL validation?

[Robert Oschler]

Is there a way, with Python 2.2,  to validate a URL without having to
download the entire document?  I want to rapidly (very rapidly!) scan a list
of URL's and make sure I don't get a "server not found" or "page not found"
error.  What external library would I need to import and and what functions?

thx
