[THREDDS #ZBP-879767]: Getting a catalog modification data



Hi Nate,

There is not currently such a mechanism. For some time now, we have had "Add 
lastModified to HTTP response headers for catalog responses based on 
configuration catalogs" on our list

https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/jira/browse/TDS-161

However, that issue is only targeted at the configuration catalogs not at 
generated catalogs, e.g., those from a datasetScan. 

We do have plans to rework much of how the TDS maintains its state including 
how users can access and interact with that information. However, that will not 
be part of the upcoming TDS 4.3 release.
