Hi,

I would like to make a suggestion to make the use of CCADB data easier.

Right now, there does not appear to be any easy way to track updates
of the various CSVs (e.g., AllCertificateRecordsCSVFormatv2). If one
wants to use the data, essentially the only way to keep it updated is
to re-download it regularly.

The server responds rather slowly (is this data live-generated?), and
the "last-modified" header does not appear to contain useful data (it
just responds with the current date/time).

Would it be possible to have some kind of small, static metadata file
with a hash and possibly latest update time of all CSVs?
It could be something as simple as
AllCertificateRecordsCSVFormatv2,[timestamp],[sha256]
AllIncludedRootCertsCSV,...

That would allow just fetching that small file to check for updates.
