Possible to GET only the "link rel" tags? (IBM RQM API)

 Hi,


Regarding the IBM RQM Reportable REST API, I was wondering if it would be possible to only perform a GET on the <link rel/> tags while retrieving little to none of the rest of the test plan entries and data.  Mainly I want to get the tags near the top of the page:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
    <title type="text">testplan ATOM feed for project area Software Test QM</title>
    <id>https://{project}/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/Software+Test/testplan</id>
    <link href="https://{project}/qm/web/console/" rel="alternate" />
    <link rel="self" href="https://{project}/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/Software+Test/testplan?token=_OUFp0OxuEe6cBfLPMuZvQA&amp;page=0" />
    <link rel="next" href="https://{project}/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/Software+Test/testplan?token=_OUFp0OxuEe6cBfLPMuZvQA&amp;page=1" />
    <link rel="last" href="https://{project}/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/Software+Test/testplan?token=_OUFp0OxuEe6cBfLPMuZvQA&amp;page=2" />

Currently, the application is querying the full first feed, checking if these <link rel/> tags exist, and THEN pulling every other page afterward.  If I can just retrieve this information, I would be able to download all of the separate pages at the same time including the first, which will make the querying much faster I believe.  Any help would be great.

Thank you.
