Initial Description 
With this snippet you will have the ability to deliver the most recent version of any file.

When dealing with a browser's cache you can't be certain your viewers are getting the most recent copy. By appending a GET value (the UNIX timestamp) to, for example, a stylesheet, you can make the browser think the stylesheet is dynamic, thus reloading the stylesheet time the modification date changes.
