I am doing some testing with Ivy and have implemented a small
modification, to allow the downloaded resource to have the same date
timestamp as the file in remote repo. It is a requirement from the customer.

  At org.apache.ivy.util.url.BasicURLHandler.download(URL src, File dest,
CopyProgressListener l)
  I added

dest.setLastModified(srcConn.getLastModified());

  How is it possible to add an attribute "timestamp" to the "dependencies"
xml tag ? See below, a sample:

<ivy-module version="2.0">
  <info organisation="br.com.smartnet" module="hello-ivy"/>
  <dependencies timestamp="remote">
   <dependency org="commons-lang" name="commons-lang" rev="2.0"/>
   <dependency org="commons-cli" name="commons-cli" rev="1.0"/>
   <dependency org="skaringa" name="skaringa" rev="r1p8"/>
  </dependencies>
</ivy-module>

  It can have 2 values "remote" or "current", whereas "remote" set the
last modified attribute, as the remote file is. The "current" means the
current Ivy behavior.

  How can I read the timestamp value, at BasicURLHandler class ?

  This is the thread, with more explanation about this requested behavior
http://www.nabble.com/How-to-download-files-from-ivyrepo-with-the-same-last-modified-date---td17515745.html

  I plan to submit it as an enhancement to the Ivy issue tracking.

Thanks
