[Wtr-general] get the meta tag out of a page

[Charley Baker]

Watir deals with the html of the page, not the http headers. I'm not sure
what the hard way is that you're dealing with currently, but you can access
most of this information through ruby's net libraries:

http://www.rubycentral.com/book/lib_network.html

Take a look at the section: class Net::HTTP
There are some pretty simple examples which should get you what you want,
then it's a matter of pulling out whatever headers you're interested in from
the returned hash and asserting on them.
