--- title: 'dav date' --- **`dav date [url]`** The purpose of this command is to get the current date from a server and print it to stdout (HTTP date format). This in useful in combination with the **`-u`** option for the `list` and `get` command. The *url* can be any http url. If no *url* is specified, the local time is used. ### Example: incremental dav get It is possible to download only resources, which are modified since a specified date. The *date* command allows you to easily store the date of the last *get*. $ dav get -R myserv/col/ ... $ dav date myserv > last_get After some resources are changed on the server, you can download only the modified files. $ dav get -R -u `cat last_get` myserv/col/
