Re: Checking the availability of a URL with VBScript

I am using CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP.3.0") in A VBScript, which
calls open(), send() etc to check the status of a URL.

The CreateObject() call and all the calls to the object are inside a
loop.

The problem I am having is, the status information is getting cached.
If the web server is up, and the script gets an HTTP 200 status, then
it will always report a 200 status on each following iteration, even
when I stop the web server. The problem seems to be caused by the fact
that the call is being done from the same process (cscript.exe). If I
stop and re-run the script with the web server down, it of course
reports the failure.

Does anyone know a way to clear the state so that this web client gets
the latest status each time?




cheers,
Neil

I can't reproduce, can you show your script?
You might try scheduling the script to run every few minutes instead of just
looping.
