When i request a .txt file from a server the value in it is stored somewhere, because if i change the data on the webserver and re-request it via a socket it still returns the old data value. Does mirc cache this or something? How can I get around this?

mIRC doesn't cache it, however many other things could... such as your ISP or even the webhost itself.

Try adding a 'dummie' parameter at the end of the URL...

GET /blah/file.txt?ticks= $+ $ticks HTTP/1.0

That way the webserver can't serve a cached copy.

that wouldnt work due to time-sync and different hosts. frown This same problem happened to me -- check your variables, are you clearing them?

What wouldn't work? My idea? It works good and true.
