I am impressed you wrote that, but you should use curl instead.  Just
set it to follow redirects and only download the headers.  There is no
reason to write a partial implementation of HTTP using
streams/sockets.

I don't think you need Content-Disposition or
Content-Transfer-Encoding headers since you are only sending one file
per request.  I am not sure why you have a cache-control header
either.
