usetimestamp |
If true, conditionally download a file based on the timestamp
of the local copy.
In this situation, the if-modified-since header is set so that the file is only fetched if it is newer than the local file (or there is no local file) This flag is only valid on HTTP connections, it is ignored in other cases. When the flag is set, the local copy of the downloaded file will also have its timestamp set to the remote file time. Note that remote files of date 1/1/1970 (GMT) are treated as 'no timestamp', and web servers often serve files with a timestamp in the future by replacing their timestamp with that of the current time. Also, inter-computer clock differences can cause no end of grief. |
