Re: Internet Image Capture to Database



One of the HTTP headers you can include in an HTTP "GET" request is
"if-modified-since". The page will then return the object if it has been
modified since the specified date (usually when you last asked for it) or an
HTTP 304 error if its the same. Its used extensively by network caches (and
browsers) etc. to  minimise bandwidth

I'm not sure how you can use it - I don't know wether utilites such as WGET
can be made conditional on it. I'm sure it could be done with a small custom
VB app.

If-Modified-Since

Used with the GET method to make it conditional: if the requested resource
has not been modified since the time specified in this field, a copy of the
resource will not be returned from the server; instead, a 304 (not modified)
response will be returned without any data.
