Hyflex 2 Posted June 3, 2013 Hey, I'm looking for a way to check a webpage (an inbox) for updates (new messages) periodically without overchecking and owning the sites bandwidth... Anyone know of a way to do this in autoit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FireFox 260 Posted June 3, 2013 Hi,Maybe a HEAD request would do the trick if the server returns the "Not Modified" status when there is no new messages.Can you tell us which e-mail service do you use?Br, FireFox.

Hyflex 2 Posted June 3, 2013 It's not an e-mail service, it's an inbox for a forum. So for example, if we used: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?app=members&module=messaging how could that be "asked" if it's been modified or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guinness 1,515 Posted June 3, 2013 Does the Forum grant you permission to do something like this? For example automating the AutoIt Forum is forbidden, which is why I ask.

FireFox 260 Posted June 3, 2013 It depends if the service in question supports RSS feed or whatever. Otherwise you could load the page and when you have the title? tag, close the connection, but it's not efficient. (I'm not going further as I don't know which service you are using, and as almost all services forbid this kind of action.) Br, FireFox.

Hyflex 2 Posted June 3, 2013 And you can't customize it? I'm trying to do it offsite in order to have a tool to check without having to have the site open also, no I prolly couldn't do it onsite even if I wanted to :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FireFox 260 Posted June 4, 2013 I'm trying to do it offsiteI understand that. Make a get/post request and only return the new message count (using a simple sql request).Br, FireFox.
