check the liburlsetcustomhttpheaders command, it will allow you to specify a different set of headers, you can use that to do HEAD calls without the need to script low level socket routines. cheers andre
This is possible but you will have to ignore any errors in "the result". Also, you should add "Connection: close" as one of the headers. Otherwise depending on the server, libUrl may timeout while waiting to read data from the socket. (libUrl will think it's handling a GET) And you probably want to stop redirects (libUrlFollowHttpRedirects).
I'm not sure that Brian's idea is much more difficult, but the script below should work. (But see Trevor's comment about authentication. )
Assume the url is "http://www.runrev.com/freebeer.html"; on mouseUp libUrlFollowHttpRedirects false put "HEAD" && "/freebeer.html" && "HTTP/1.1" into tRequest put cr & "User-Agent: Revolution" after tRequest put cr & "Host:" && "www.runrev.com" after tRequest put cr & "Connection: close" after tRequest libURLSetCustomHTTPHeaders tRequest get url "http://www.runrev.com/"; put libUrlLastRhHeaders() libUrlFollowHttpRedirects true ##RESET end mouseUp Cheers Dave _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
