    Thanks got this to work for me by doing the below

    #Check that the HTML source was Created less that one hour ago
    function httpfiledate {
    $response2=Invoke-WebRequest "http://xxxxxxxx/edgestatus/"
    $response2.Headers.GetEnumerator() | ForEach {
    If($_.Key -eq "Last-Modified" )
    {
    $_.value}
    $dateString={string]$_.value
    $dateObject= get-date $dateString
    }
    }
    }
    $filedate = httpfiledate
    $FileDateObj = get-date $filedate
    $hours = -1
    $dif = (($FileDateObj) - (Get-Date).AddHours($hours))
    if ($dif.Hours -ne 0) {Send-MailMessage -to $mailRecip -From $mailSender -Subject $mailSubject1 -BodyAsHtml -SmtpServer $mailServer -Body "HTTP File on Edge2 is over 1 hour old check Shed Task" ; Break }
    Else {Write-host "File OK"}
