Script to access a webpage every few minutes

48 New Member
Hi, I am trying to increase my website's hit by writing a script which artificially accesses my webpage after every few minutes/seconds.

Any idea how can I do that?

Thanks

Heya, AJ.

Problem with doing that is that if you have a smart counter, it will recognize that the requests are coming from the same IP (the IP of the server that you're using to send the request), so at best, you'll get one extra hit from the deal.

So is it possible to block the IP address or visit anonymously?

Heya, AJ.

If the spammers could figure that one out, then we'd never be able to ban them!

Every request sent over HTTP has to be sent with a 'return-address' IP so that the server knows where to send the response.

The best you could do would be to route your request through one of several anonymous proxies, but that would net you maybe 8 extra hits, and anonymous proxies don't like bots.

Hi there, the task: Any mail that drops into a specified mailbox shall cause a (php-)script to immediately react with some action. Quite a common task, isn't it? I could use e.g. cron to let a script frequently look for new mail. But mail drops in only once every few days, so I don't want to execute that look-for-new-mail-script every 3 minutes. But IF mail drops in, the

Is it possible to call a remote php script from within Access? I'm thinking something like: DoCMD... http://www.domain.com/scripts/dataquery.php DoCmd.OpenQuery "update_data", acNormal, acEdit .....

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
