Dear all,

If a HTTP caching layer is in use (either a proxy, or if you're fetching
via a CDN), ideally - the TTL for SHA256.sig is low (we all wants the
latest snapshots) and the TTL on the *.tgz files higher (if nothing
changed, serve up cached objects).

The below changeset could be a step towards making the best of any
potential caching layers and also getting fresh sets as soon as they
appear at the origin, while providing increased chances of consistency
between *.tgz files and the SHA256.sig. In other words, you don't want
to end up with a new SHA256.sig and old *.tgz files.

The trick is to append the SHA256 hash of the SHA256.sig file as query
string when fetching the set files. This 'needle' should prompt the
caching layer to do an origin fetch. New SHA256.sig file == new URLs for
the set files == new cache fill.

I also added a new -Q option to ftp(1) to visually hide the query string
so that things continue to look the same as they did before.

Thoughts?

Kind regards,

Job
