Suppose I want to download the file http://some_website/some_file whenever it is newer than the local file. This needs the specification of the dependency on URLs. I'm wondering if it is possible to do so in gnu make.
URLs don’t have dates. A GET/HEAD request may return a ‘Last-Modified’ header and you can do conditional requests using that or the entity tag, but these things are beyond make.
