My app looks frequently onto a WEB page to check if a newer version is
available.
My code looks like this:
Private Sub ReadHtmlFile()
Dim hwRequest As HttpWebRequest
Dim hwResponse As HttpWebResponse
Dim srUpdate As IO.StreamReader
hwRequest =
CType(WebReques t.Create("http://www.mydomain.co m/version.html"),
HttpWebRequest)
hwRequest.Allow AutoRedirect = False
hwResponse = CType(hwRequest .GetResponse, HttpWebResponse )
srUpdate = New IO.StreamReader (hwResponse.Get ResponseStream,
Encoding.ASCII
...
End Sub
When the app is launched, it ready the most recent version of "version.ht ml"
from the remote WEB server.
However, when I update "version.ht ml" while the app is running, it does not
obtain the most recent version, but HttpWebResponse returns the outdated
file it read at the first time. Obviously the file is buffered somehow.
Does anybody have a clue how I can get around this?
Best regards, Thomas 1 1477
HttpWebResponse works ok, it was just me who screwed the results up later in
my app.
Instead of renewing the internal representation of the HTML page, I always
added the newly downloaded text to the one already present.

Reason being that whenever I upload files on other forums or websites I know

I have a windows client app that is trying to download a file from
a web server but I always get the following error when I call the
GetResponse method of the Request object.
The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.
When I run it against a website on my local machine everything works
perfectly, but not against the remote server. I'm sure it's a security
or permissions problem of some sort, but I'm not sure where to start.

Hi,
I have a background worker in my C# app that makes a synchronous
HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() call. The idea is to POST a file to a
server on the internet. When I call HttpWebRequest.Abort() on the
request object on another thread, GetResponse() returns with an
exception as expected. However, when I monitor the network traffic, it
does not seem to stop, but to continue to be active and to upload the
file. The network is active even...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

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,...
