Use HTTP Headers from published datasets URL to retrieve versioning of the application.
The SDS Viewer relies on published datasets published on this server, which is a large file. The application relies on downloading this file first to retrieve all the IDs of the published Datasets. Since it's a big file and it doesn't get updated every day, it's not necessary to download the file each time the application loads, so it's only downloaded whenever there are changes to the file.
