Hi Guys I submitted a pull request today but wanted to provide some background on the use case. I ran into some situations where it was desirable to be able to update an artifact in a content repository (say artifactory) and then re-run ansible as is and have that updated artifact be pulled down. Currently, I didn't see a way to do this with get_url since it will skip it if already sees the file on disk. So after talking about it with the team, we came up with an idea to detect these changes. The method is low cost since it doesn't require any md5 or sha hashing of the local file on each run, and for the remote side it just makes a http header request for the file size. There is a small chance that this method could return a false positive in the case of different files being the same size, but its a trade-off for speed. Looking forward to your feedback!
