I already answered this question, see my previous mail.
And from libfetch man page :
     If the `i' (if-modified-since) flag is specified, the library will try to
     fetch the content only if it is newer than last_modified.  For HTTP an
     If-Modified-Since HTTP header is sent.  For FTP a MTDM command is sent
     first and compared locally.  For FILE the source file is compared.

You the http header you need to check is If Modified Since
