Hi, I'm not sure if you're really looking for a diff tool, so I'll just
shout an answer to a question that I think you might be asking. I use a
variation of the script posted here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1494488/watch-a-web-page-for-changes


for watching a web page for changes. I mostly only ever use this for
watching for new artifacts to appear in Maven Central (because refreshing
a web page is pretty dull "work").

Hope this helps.
