to make a completely unique string per request, one should use time tags.
example:
$req.open("GET", "xmlprovider.php?hash=" + @date + @time)

ja, cant test it much but it does seem to at least see past the hash-stuff, and download the file ... hopefully the most recent version ;0)

FTPget("ftp://ftp.mcafee.com/CommonUpdater/delta.ini?hash=+@date + @time","e:\delta.ini")

btw - anyone catch that fancy word in that quote above ... non-idempotent ... don't know wtf that means, sounds like some kind of medical condition I don't want to catch.

I tried this code.
Code:
FTPget("ftp://ftp.mcafee.com/CommonUpdater/delta.ini?hash=+@date + @time","e:\delta.ini")



But it's not downloading the file now. Am I missing something?

Thanks cappy - I'm having a hard time even pro-nouncing that word, without like - spitting all over my monitor.

Anyone want to comment / take a stab at writing a POST request version of FTPGet ?

I'm still playing with this hash used in the first method (below).
req.open("GET", "xmlprovider.php?hash=" + Math.random());

The third method (shown below) I tested and it still grabbed the old copy of the file.
req.open("GET", "xmlprovider.php");
req.setRequestHeader("If-Modified-Since", "Sat, 1 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT");
req.send(null);

As for attempting to write a modified UDF. I think thats a bit out of my skill range. I'm not familar enough with XMLHTTP.

It has built in credentials in the task. Would this still apply?





You mean to say the task is running under a user account ? If so, might also try (as a test) a scripted DEL of temporary internet files - just as a test I mean. At least you would know for sure whether caching was the issue.

I feel a little sheepish. I got a bit involved in some of the other posts that I didn't even try it...until now. Your reg hack worked NTDOC. Thank you for that.

Though I'm sure there is probably a way to do this within XMLHTTP as well without modifying IE settings.

the post version of ftpGet is no biggie.
just change the send() to have some sh*t in it:
send("hash=sh*t")

ok so try this POST version of FTPGet then ...

Code:

Function FTPget($sURL, $sTargetFile, optional $sUser, optional $sPass)
Dim $oFTP, $oStream
$sUser=""+$sUser
$oFTP = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
if @error $ftpget=1 exit 1 endif
$oStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
if @error $ftpget=2 exit 2 endif
if $sUser
$oFTP.Open("POST", $sURL, not 1, $sUser, $sPass)
else
$oFTP.Open("POST", $sURL, not 1)
endif
if @error $ftpget=3 exit 3 endif
$oFTP.Send
$oStream.Type = 1
$oStream.Mode = 3
$oStream.open
$oStream.Write($oFTP.responseBody)
if @error $ftpget=4 exit 4 endif
$oStream.SaveToFile($sTargetFile, 2)
if @error $ftpget=5 exit 5 endif
$oStream.Close
EndFunction

no...
you didn't even touch the send method.

hmm...
on the other hand, we don't have anything really to send.
did you didn't try this out yourself?

k, checked out the syntax and this should work for you:
Code:

Function FTPgetPOST($sServer, $sFile, $sTargetFile, optional $sUser, optional $sPass)
Dim $oFTP, $oStream
$sUser=""+$sUser
$oFTP = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
if @error $ftpget=1 exit 1 endif
$oStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
if @error $ftpget=2 exit 2 endif
if $sUser
$oFTP.Open("POST", $sServer, not 1, $sUser, $sPass)
else
$oFTP.Open("POST", $sServer, not 1)
endif
if @error $ftpget=3 exit 3 endif
$oFTP.setRequestHeader = "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
$oFTP.Send($sFile)
$oStream.Type = 1
$oStream.Mode = 3
$oStream.open
$oStream.Write($oFTP.responseBody)
if @error $ftpget=4 exit 4 endif
$oStream.SaveToFile($sTargetFile, 2)
if @error $ftpget=5 exit 5 endif
$oStream.Close
EndFunction

Cool. By the way, I did try out the other one and it does download the file, but I cant really tell about the cache stuff. Plus your code looks like you put more thought into it ...

Well glad you got it going Cyri, but looks like all of us got a little something more and learned a bit more from this thread so that's cool too.

Thanks Shawn and Jooel for the UDF code.
