HTTP Get File cache

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

Hi,

I'm using the "http get file" action to download a file and safe it to %temp%\filename.xml. However, I noticed that when I change the file on the web server FinalBuilder still saves the old file into %temp%. Is there some kind of caching implemented and if yes how can I get rid of it?

 

Thanks,

Mike

Hi

The action doesn’t do any caching that I can tell, is it possible the local file is not being overwritten? I tested this here and it picks up the changes fine, using IIS7 for the webserver.

Another option would be to try the WGET action, you will need to download wget from http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/

I've taken a deeper look using wireshark and as you said the HTTP Get File action seems to work without caching. Instead it seems to be the proxy that's delivering outdated content.

Thanks,

Mike
