Hi,

I am trying to parse some RSS files on my site to give a bit of news.
But some of the RSS are sometimes very old, (or just not updated anymore).

Is there a way of getting the age, (last updated), of a remote file?
I guess could always store the whole xml in the db and compare it every day
to see when last it was updated.
But I was hopping there might be an easier way.

how can I tell how old the rss file really is?
