[REBOL] does modified? GET or HEAD?

Hi
Does anyone know if 'modified? reads the whole URL with a
http GET command, or does it simply use a HEAD command?
Does anyone have some code for getting the date out of a
port! object?
Say I'd like to fetch a URL only if it's been modified
since the last time I was there. Is there a way to check
without having to read the URL twice? E.g. this would read
the URL twice, if the site has changed:
if lastvisit < modified? some-url [
read some-url
]
Thanks,
~H
