No, it's a markup validator, not an HTTP validator.  There is the HTTP 
HEAD service [1] which will output the the HTTP headers received, or you 
could use a tool like Live HTTP Headers for Firefox for an application 
like Fiddler.  As far as validating or checking the syntax of the 
headers, I don't know of any tools that will do that.
