You're right it doesn't print headers but here's something it does:
```
wget --spider 
'https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest&os=linux64&lang=en-US'
Spider mode enabled. Check if remote file exists.

Hopefully wget2 could do the same, i.e. check for redirects and show the final 
document size/mimetype if supported by the server.
