Um, I just went to implement this, and found that it already *works*.

Here's my .swfinfo file...

url: http://www.bbc.co.uk/emp/10player.swf
ctim: Sun, 09 Jan 2011 14:57:37 GMT
date: Mon, 05 Jul 2010 14:58:49 GMT
size: 000f9c9b
hash: 756ef5b1b33f59e88680ba06bcbc967e34468c82119df9e3789965513e7e57f5

If I corrupt the hash value, things break. If I then change the date:
line to be earlier, it gets refetched.

So I'm not exactly sure what's going on. The only thing I can imagine is
if the *new* SWF is actually given an older timestamp than the older
one? Can I see a .swfinfo file from someone who's *currently* seeing
this problem, and a packet capture of all traffic to www.bbc.co.uk port
80?
