Is is possible to get the timestamp of a file on a web server if it has a URL?
For example, let's say that I want to know when the following file was created: http://www.w3schools.com/xml/note.xml I can get an HTTPMessage object using urllib2, like this: ------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/python import urllib2 url = 'http://www.w3schools.com/xml/note.xml' f = urllib2.urlopen(url) finfo = f.info() ------------------------------------------------------------------- My finfo is an HTTPMessage object, which has getdate() and getdate_tz() methods. However, they both require a 'name' argument. I can't figure out what this is... Am I going down the wrong path? Is there a path I can go down to get what I want?
