[JDEV] autoupdate

[Joe Hildebrand]

In Exodus, we've implemented both the (relatively lightly documented)
current way, as well as a simple HTTP HEAD.  The HEAD approach seems to work
pretty well... Can someone remind me of the reasons why the more complex
protocol is necessary, since autoupdate is so similar to the HTTP caching
problem?
