push_version()

The push_version() method gets the current application push_version value.

The push_version variable is a local-to-installed-instance version number, which is combined with the build number to revise static resources in %SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<appName>/appserver/static. This number is incremented by a POST to /_bump, forcing the client to fetch the new version of any modified resource, regardless of the Expires headers that were sent with it.
