 * I’m trying to access the ‘Last-Modified’ meta data for a file, however I haven’t
   managed to get it working inside of WordPress.
 * Outside of WordPress, this works fine:
 *     ```
       $remoteheaders = get_headers($url, 1);
       echo $remoteheaders['Last-Modified'];
       ```
   
 * However, that function won’t run inside the WP API. I’ve seen that there are 
   two WP functions, wp_get_http and wp_get_http_headers, but i haven’t gotten either
   to work.
 * Can anyone provide a working example to doing this?

 * Nevermind, solved the issue. When working inside the wordpress api, use all lowercase
   letters. For example, ‘Last-Modified’ would be ‘last-modified’.
