Interesting request. I would have thought that setting the mtime
of the local file according to the Last-Modified header of URL
was a feature. Anyway, if you want to find out what was just
downloaded, you could check the ctime. Assuming GNU find,
touch .timestamp &&
sleep 1 &&
wget ... &&
find . -cnewer .timestamp
You could also set the mtime to match the ctime. Again assuming
GNU find,
touch .timestamp &&
sleep 1 &&
wget ... &&
find . -cnewer .timestamp -print0 |
perl -0ne 'BEGIN { $status = 0; $| = 1; }
sub err (@) { print STDERR @_, "\n"; $status = 2; }
chomp;
@s = stat;
if (@s == 0) { err "$_: $!"; next; }
printf "%s: mtime %+.0f s\n", $_, $s[10] - $s[9];
utime $s[8], $s[10], $_ or err "$_: $!\n";
END { exit $status }'
