Question

In my vbscript file, I am using the Microsoft.xmlhttp object to access my .txt file on my web server. I have changed the file’s content, but the vbscript keeps showing the old content of the .txt file. I have no idea what could be causing this and I tried it with multiple vbscripts, all with the same problem but no error generated.

Any help is much appreciated.

EDIT: Send the request to this url:

url & "?t=" & Now() & " " & Timer()

To avoid caching.

Answer 1

It could be that the data is cached and if your URL doesn’t change, you get the old, cached data. Try adding a date / time parameter to your AJAX call:

objReq.open("GET", "[your url]?_t=" & Replace(CStr(CDbl(Now())), ".", ""), True)
