Hi David, I have an existing ML scheduled task that scrapes the version info for some web apps via HTTP. I was hoping I can integrate into it the DLL version reading.
But since xdmp:document-filter can't do it, I'll do as you suggest ... run my VBScript and have it insert the data into ML via HTTP.
