(About http check command)... But this mechanism is an http standard 
functionality, and even proxies must (should) have support for it. 
Otherwise, there is no other way than to download the whole URI (which 
hopefully is a file listing generated by the web server), and compare it 
with a previous one. There are only two choices. But the second one is 
not difficult, apart from the fact that sometimes web servers put a nice 
"Generated by Apache blah blah blah on <date>" at the bottom of the 
listing, which makes every listing different from the one generated some 
time before...
