I have loaded a simple text file to my website, built a program to download that file. Everythinng works fine so far. I then delete the file off my webiste, re publish it with the changes, and yet the UrlDownloaToFile is still downloading the file (it isn't just creating a file with the same name, it has the content of the file). I tried going to the link in a web browser but the page is not found, as it is not supposed to be.

I realize this question is a mix between my website hosting, unrelated, and AHK. But I have exhausted my options on the website side and their tech support said the file is not there. Anyone have a clue as to how the UrlDTF still has this file stored somewhere?

A future tip would be just to replace the existing file rather than delete it first.

How about creating a new folder for it, and re-directing the script to it?

Check that it exists by typing the URL into Explorer obviously.

You may use HttpQueryContentLength() to find the filesize of target.

What version of AHK are you using?

Using the most recent as of the past couple months.



Yes, I could alter the script etc..., but my intention is for the script to remain unchanged on other user computers. When I want to disable the script from being able to install the file, I simply delete it off the website.

That is why it is puzzling, the file does not exist when I run the url in explorer, except the UrlDTF is still finding it and downloading it to the computer.

Post you code and let us give it a try.
Please, make the code compilable and just a short script.

Maybe your local or network browser cache is playing tricks on you, I know from experience that people report they don't see changes in files, when they look the next day the "see" it. Report back tomorrow
