[feature] Detecting changes using ETags

Open jarble opened this issue 1 month ago • 1 comments

Does changedetection.io watch for changes in HTTP response headers, such as the ETag, Last-Modified, or Content-Length headers?

These headers should not change unless a page's content has changed, so it should be possible to detect changes on a page using these headers without downloading the page's content again.
