Someone contrived to fetch the headers and-output-to-dev-nul. I didn't notice whether this bypassed the transfer. But why bother, since curl provides for conditional fetch of outdated files? Would you keep the archive in zFS, PDSE, or other? For which of these would timestamp granularity be fine enough for conditional download? cbttape.org appears to supply ETag values. Would those better? >but thank you as that was a path i did look at. > >On Sun, Jan 26, 2025 at 1:36 PM Seymour J Metz wrote: >> >> What about wget? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
