     CURLOPT_FILETIME - get the modification time of  the  remote
     resource


SYNOPSIS

     #include <curl/curl.h>

     CURLcode  curl_easy_setopt(CURL  *handle,  CURLOPT_FILETIME,
     long gettime);


DESCRIPTION

     Pass a long. If it is 1, libcurl will  attempt  to  get  the
     modification  time of the remote document in this operation.
     This requires that the  remote  server  sends  the  time  or
     replies to a time querying command. The curl_easy_getinfo(3)
     function with the CURLINFO_FILETIME(3) argument can be  used
     after a transfer to extract the received time (if any).

EXAMPLE

     curl = curl_easy_init();
     if(curl) {
       curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, url);
       /* Ask for filetime */
       curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FILETIME, 1L);
       res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
       if(CURLE_OK == res) {
         res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_FILETIME, &filetime);
         if((CURLE_OK == res) && (filetime >= 0)) {
           time_t file_time = (time_t)filetime;
           printf("filetime %s: %s", filename, ctime(&file_time));
         }
