Hm. No. curl can fetch the time (--remote-time) but it only uses that to set
the time of the downloaded file!

Adding a new variable field to the -w output when --remote-time is used could
be a useful addition that would enable what you ask for. The problem could
possibly be to decide what format to use for the output!

You up to writing a patch for this?
