Get file details for HTTP location Options

Hi, is there any way of getting details (such as last modified/created
date/time) of a file located on the web?

E.g I'd like to know when the file "http://www.myWebSite.c om/
update.txt" was last created/modified.

I'm *guessing* I can use CHttpResponse to get some "Last-Modified"
value, but I've found it very difficult to get come clear cut code on
how to do so.

Many thanks for any help,

Tony.
P.S. I found it realitively easy to do in C#:

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest )WebRequest.Cre ate("http://
www.myWebSite.c om/update.txt");
// If required by the server, set the credentials.
//request.Credent ials = CredentialCache .DefaultCredent ials;
//request.IfModif iedSince = DateTime.Parse( "01-01-1990");
try
{
using (WebResponse response = request.GetResp onse())
{
string lastModified = response.Header s["Last-
Modified"].ToString();
}
}
catch (WebException wex)
{
....

Hi I need to write the contents of a structure to a binary file - there is one string and 2 integers, but I can't seem to figure out how to write the data correctly. If I am simply writing text to a file there is no problem - that starts when I attempt to write the structure. Can someone help me out, please?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
