It sends the server a If-Modified-Since header for each URL. The
server *should* send back a specific response that says it wasn't
modified, or the new file. Since some servers don't comply, ht://Dig
also checks the timestamp when it gets the file.
If you run with -v you'll see 'not changed' for the first condition
and 'retrieved but not changed' for the second.
