I have a stack that references a website using this statement which works repeatedly in Rev Studio (build 950 version 4.0.0, on Mac 10.5.8 ) :

Code: Select all

put URL (siteToGet) into myURLvariable

In a MacOSX standalone however, getting the URL only works the first time it is called. On subsequent calls it returns a duplicate of the data it got in the initial call.

It seems as though it is caching the data. I gleaned this code from the dictionary but it hasn't helped.

Code: Select all

  on unloadAll
    repeat for each line thisURL in the cachedURLs
      unload URL thisURL
    end repeat
end unloadAll

The Internet script library is included in the standalone settings. I've tried it with everything selected, and with "Search for required inclusions".

Any thoughts on what I might try to get my standalone to work the same way it does in studio?

tomtom ,

Can you tell us which URL you are trying to retrieve? Are you using a proxy?

I hadn't even considered that it might be something specific to the site.
I'm using one of several URLs which all use the same framework:

Dear tomtom ,

Are you using a proxy?

Kind regards,

Mark

Hi Tomtom,

I'm doing a test and will let you know the result later.

I think that the unload command is only effective are loading a url with the load command. What happens if you use the load command instead of the put command, while keeping the unload command in place?

Best,

Mark

TomTom,

I tested it and it seems to work fine. I created a script that downloads the URL every 30 minutes. The first 5 hours, the data was the same every time. After 5 hours, the data changed sometimes. The problem doesn't lie in RunRev and your websites. Perhaps you expect different data too often or maybe there is a piece of hardware or software on your computer that caches the data. I can't see that from where I am sitting. Can you tell anything else about your set-up? Perhaps you should do a similar test.

Best regards,

Mark
