New submission from Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettin...@gmail.com>:
Add an optional argument to urlretrieve to specify an etag for previously
downloaded content:
>>> urlretrieve('example.com/data.txt', etag="105800d-4af6-4c29d893d69c0")
That optional argument would add the following to the outgoing headers:
"If-None-Match: 105800d-4af6-4c29d893d69c0"
If the site returns a 304 Not Modified, then the full content download isn't
needed.
