Does IE_Navigate recursivly scan web pages

[jjohnsonBBG]

Hi,

I have a script that loops through an array of URLs and displays them with a Sleep command in between. The exact code is:

For $iPageLoop = 0 to UBound($arrWebPages) - 1

_IENavigate ($oIE, $arrWebPages[$iPageLoop])

_IELoadWait ($oIE)

Sleep($iSleepTime)

And your question is what exactly?

BTW, use autoit code tags when posting any code, thank you.

Sorry, prematurely postd and I couldn't get back in to edit. Full question is:

Our Security group looks for computers that take up excessive bandwidth and the PC running the above script is a major offender. When we analyse the traffic for the PC, I see it pulling all this additional content that is linked to within the page. When I pull the pages up manually, I do not see all the addtional traffic. So, therfore, the question (a d subject) of the post is: Does IE_Navigate recursivley scan a page and pull in all material linked to from within the page?

Thanks,

John

No, It just loads the page it has navigated to.

But when you do it manually, it might be the second try and the cache might be used.

Therefore less traffic.

jjohnsonBBG,

I would look at $arrWebPages and make sure that the array contains what you think it should contain.

Like this

#include <array.au3>
_arraydisplay($arrWebPages)
For $iPageLoop = 0 to UBound($arrWebPages) - 1
 _IENavigate ($oIE, $arrWebPages[$iPageLoop])
 _IELoadWait ($oIE)
 Sleep($iSleepTime)
 Next
