Based on scripts/get

It supports wget (which I believe is the standard for OpenELEC) and curl, but currently it can only check ftp:// URLs using curl.
for FTP URLs, curl generates fake HTTP headers (but no status line), while wget simply dumps a transcript of an FTP session, which is much more difficult to parse.
