Hi, Regarding the subject line, I was wondering why? It seems given the warning message that this was purposely not implemented rather than missed. I'm not sure why, and it'd be great if it were supported. Even if wget always sets the current time for the local timestamp when writing the file with -O, that would still work fine since whatever the server timestamp was at the time of download, it should have been less than the current time, no? And when the file is updated, the server timestamp should then exceed the local timestamp.
I've wanted this feature to work before for a variety of things, but here's today's use case - wget saves http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=109706 as "AutoDL@BundleId=109706".. but the users on the network would much rather see Java-Setup-i586.exe sitting in "LatestVersions". Right now my script downloads & overwrites every morning. It works, but it fills my backup tapes and makes me sad. -Matt
