If-Modified-Since header for RSS download
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Search the latest downloaded file and put it's mtime in the header.
This cannot be determined from the file modification times reliably:
if not all episodes are downloaded, but only a couple of them either because of the -e option or a partial download, there is no mtime which is earlier than the last modification time of the RSS, so it won't download missing episodes, only when the RSS is updated.
as I don't want to add an option for this (like --force to download anyway or --check-rss-time for using this feature), because it would be anything but simple, this will not be implemented.
This could only be done with additional metadata, but I don't want to store any metadata besides the downloaded files.
Checking gaps and partially downloaded files would still not be enough.
