Thanks again Dominique.
The main reason I did the <get> was so it would be possible to automatically
turn dynamically generated web content ('fried') into static content
('baked'). The simplest way I could think of was :
* http get the page
* rename to something based on the date (e.g. blog_2002-07-11.html)
* ftp to somewhere else
For this the http server date/time wouldn't really be needed, but I can
imagine that might be useful in other archiving situations.
Cheers,
Danny.
