Does pypi's simple index not set last modification time?

I'm trying to mirror the simple index (just the index, not the referenced files) in order to do some queries on package availability. I was planning on doing a simple "wget --timestamping --recursive --level=1" but when I do, everything seems to be downloaded each time. Does PyPI not set the last modified date on the index files? If I try wget -S it looks like the last modified date is always now. Is this caused by the CDN, or is it how PyPI works? Assuming last-modified *is* inaccurate, is there any other way of doing an incremental mirror of the simple index? Paul
