It's pretty easy. In my case, the build code was downloading a tarball over HTTPS, so it could easily have used the If-Modified-Since: header.

However, I suspect the build was done one a virtual machine that was spun up from scratch anew each time, so there was no existing tarball for it to check the timestamp against.

Risk management anyone?

At work at least for local builds I made our system use a cache that gets mounted into the container. It saves considerable amount of time (and allows working on mobile connections) to not download several hundreds of MB of things every time.
