curl -z only works if the server has the proper headers set - good luck with that. The point is, it's great to be able to have custom conditions for determining "needs to be updated", for example.

You can always download to a temporary location and only copy to the destination file if there is a difference. You don't need direct support from curl or whatever other tool generates the data.
