How do I check the last-modified date of a URL file?
The getLastModified() Method in the URLConnection connection class allows you to get the Last modified date.
It can be done in the following manner:
...
String urlpath = new String("http://www.esus.com/respondquestionexample.html");
url = new URL(urlpath);
connection = url.openConnection();
connection.connect();
System.out.println(urlpath+ " was last modified on "+ new java.util.Date(connection.getLastModified()));
...
|
The getLastModified() method returns a long value, the number of seconds since the start of the epoch( 1970 ) till the modified date. The output for the above url was "Last Modified on Thu Apr 19 03:01:25 GMT+05:30 2001"
