I already answered this question, see my previous mail.
And from libfetch man page :
If the `i' (if-modified-since) flag is specified, the library will try to
fetch the content only if it is newer than last_modified. For HTTP an
If-Modified-Since HTTP header is sent. For FTP a MTDM command is sent
first and compared locally. For FILE the source file is compared.
You the http header you need to check is If Modified Since
