True, many pages are set up that way, however, it will work on many
which have not been updated for some time. Not foolproof, but is a
partial answer to the original post.

When the web page is up, try inserting this Javascript in the
address bar, "javascript:alert(document.lastModified)" (without
the " ") It should tell you the last date updated, for many sites.
Try it for a few, and let us know how it worked.


I'm not the OP but decided to try your suggestion. On several
different web sites where I tried your suggestion, your javascript
returns the current date and time. The datestamp will be for the
copy rendered by the browser, not for when the file for the page
was last updated on the *server*. The javascript is not running on
the server. It is running locally on your own host, and what it
runs against is what got downloaded to your host. The "document"
being checked is the one that was just rendered by the browser.
