You seem to imply that the filetime (Last time the file was written) kept by UNIX is not what you want, but the "date" kept in the filename? Is that correct?

CURLINFO_FILETIME(3)					     curl_easy_getinfo options					      CURLINFO_FILETIME(3)

NAME
CURLINFO_FILETIME - get the remote time of the retrieved document SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_FILETIME, long *timep); DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the remote time of the retrieved document (in number of seconds since 1 jan 1970 in the GMT/UTC time zone). If you get -1, it can be because of many reasons (it might be unknown, the server might hide it or the server doesn't support the command that tells document time etc) and the time of the document is unknown. Note that you must tell the server to collect this information before the transfer is made, by using the CURLOPT_FILETIME(3) option to curl_easy_setopt(3) or you will unconditionally get a -1 back. PROTOCOLS
HTTP(S), FTP(S), SFTP EXAMPLE
curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, url); /* Ask for filetime */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FILETIME, 1L); res = curl_easy_perform(curl); if(CURLE_OK == res) { res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_FILETIME, &filetime); if((CURLE_OK == res) && (filetime >= 0)) { time_t file_time = (time_t)filetime; printf("filetime %s: %s", filename, ctime(&file_time)); } } /* always cleanup */ curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.5 RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. SEE ALSO
curl_easy_getinfo(3), curl_easy_setopt(3), libcurl 7.54.0 April 03, 2017 CURLINFO_FILETIME(3)
All times are GMT -4. The time now is 01:41 PM.
