Hi !

I use this code for downloading file if it is newer than local.

curl.exe -# -z file -o file http://example.com/file

How can I do the same without downloading it ?

I read this manual: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/manual.html
but do not find anything helpful.

Thank's for your answers.

I'm confused about what you want to do. Are you just trying to compare the age of a local file to the age of a remote file?

Yes. Why did you confused?

I can do it with comparing line "Last-Modified" of header with a local file.
But it is too complex way.

Code: Select all

curl "http://example/file" --head

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx/42
