I have a web application that will generate a web page and tuck it in a top secret location on the server. I need a Windows XP box to be able to run a program in the background to check to see if the page is there and fetch this page from the server and print it on the Windows printer. It should poll the server every minute or two.
XP Pro is available but would rather it run on XP Home. The page is located in an unpublished area of the server but does not need to be secured. The page would be html, text only for now, but I could tolerate plain text (for now).
If this was a 'nix box, I could use a shell script and wget and write a script in 10 lines to do this but none of that is installed on Windows. I reeeaaaallly don't want to have to install anything on the Windows box to do that so I'm wondering if there is an equivalent scripting method that would work with something in Windows and do what I want.
From googling a little, all I see is everything done in VB. I reeeaallly don't want to have to learn VB to do what should be a trivial task, and I'm concerned what I would have to download and install just to develop the code.
Can someone give me a clue, please?
Send me the code.
It's URGENT!!!
;)

As to the timer, you should just use the windows task scheduler to do it.

I have an aspx page that fires the page load event twice for every load. I tried every fix that was suggested in all the posts on this and other forums. None changed the behavior. After one post that suggested they had an img tag with src="", I decided to look for instances of "src" and one by one start removing that code to see if it changed anything. Below is the one that, when I removed it, although it broke the flash menus and header, solved...

Is it possible to grab something off a given web page (like page title) and send that along with the form when they click submit? I guess the question is - can I variablize the page title and then pull that variable into the form when submitting? I am using bnbform.cgi on my web host.

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:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
