As a layman, that sounds like a good plan, but wonder if that is possible. I don't know if you have check the timestamp of files from a web server ... I'm sure you can, but how would one know that is the correct time, taking into account things like time zones and so on. Anyway, my 2cents worth, if we could do that, it would be great time saver ...
