Does anyone know how to cache (or download and overwrite) a file from internet periodocally withouth using any server side script (PHP, ASP Coldfusion etc)?
I want to display RSS feeds on my website from CNET using their RSS XML file but I do not know how to repeatedly download the file to keep the latest version on my server.
Thanks

You will have to use a server-side language, but you can use Javascript as part of Ajax for client-side updates.

I thought that Ajax can itself pull out data for me from a remote server? Do I strictly have to use a server side scripting?

I want to know whether AJAX can work on its own to fetch the file or does it need a PHP or any other kind of server side scripting to cache the file on to my machine?

How are you currently obtaining the file?
Ajax is only part Javascript - there's always a server-side element to it too.

There will be server-side scripting involved, but it doesn't involve unloading the page, so you could have your 'static' HTML page that calls some javascript. Read up on Ajax in the Offsite Links thread (top of this forum).

Merged threads.
Thanks.
I understand that I will have to use Server side scripts. I am using Coldfusion. Now the problem is -
(know that this is an intranet website that I am working for)
I am using CFHTTP to retrieve a certain document (xml rss) but it says "connection failure".
Can you suggest anything? It cannot be my firewall as all the communication is done over HTTP, right?

Is there any way to cache dataset on one page and it will be accessible for
one user?
if you declare dataset shared it will stay on the server and page will be
able reference to it on reload, but in this case it will be shared with
other users who use the page.
Right now I found work around it by saving each dataset as xml file with
users's sessionid in file name and reading it on page reload.
is there a better way?

Hi All,
what is the diference between these two cache control header.
no-cache and no-store.
I have read the w3.org explanation.
So lets say I am using only no-cache ....my understanding is that
nothing is cached and nothing is writen to disk.

I'm running an ASP.NET web application under IIS. I'm inserting a cache

e.g. Cache.Insert("myobj", data, new CacheDependency(filePath));
When I make a change to the file 'filePath' and call the object from the
cache it is not null. I'm disposing of the FileStream object immediately
