Thanks guys,

That solved the problem, I was misunderstanding the documentation. I
thought that " The curl_easy_getinfo(3) function with the CURLINFO_FILETIME
argument can be used after a transfer to extract the received time (if any)"
Meant that I'd be getting back the modify date/time of the new file and not
the date/time of the file on the remote server.

Thanks again everyone,
Eric

CURLINFO_FILETIME is passed to curl_easy_getinfo(). It takes a long pointer
as
argument.

CURLOPT_FILETIME is passed to curl_easy_setopt(). It takes a long as
argument.

If I understand correctly, you want to know the time BEFORE any
download?
