Comment (by rmccue):

 Ideally, `Last-Modified` with `If-Modified-Since` would be the perfect
 solution: it's part of the HTTP standard, and it means only one request
 (versus a custom header checked by a HEAD request, followed by another GET
 request if it doesn't match). The next best solution is `ETag` with `If-
 None-Match`, but this means creating an ETag for the files (likely a MD5
 hash) which is more work than the date. That said, a `Content-MD5` header
 might be nice for checking file integrity after downloading (.org already
 offers this for zip downloads). If this is done on file generation and the
 file is cached, this would be a nice extra feature.
