The other day mikeytown2 posted one post in HTTP UDF's thread that got me thinking if there is better (different) method to send requests through the HTTP protocol to HTTP servers. There is Winhttp.dll that ships with windows and that is its main purpose. I couldn't find any examples of using this dll in AutoIt, so I came up with this. Microsoft about Windows HTTP Services: Microsoft Windows HTTP Services (WinHTTP) provides developers with an HTTP client application programming interface (API) to send requests through the HTTP protocol to other HTTP servers... .. blah, blah, and so on... This is an example of getting page header: #include "WinHttp.au3" Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1) ; Open needed handles Local $hOpen = _WinHttpOpen() Local $hConnect = _WinHttpConnect($hOpen, "msdn.microsoft.com") ; Specify the reguest: Local $hRequest = _WinHttpOpenRequest($hConnect, Default, "en-us/library/aa384101(VS.85).aspx") ; Send request _WinHttpSendRequest($hRequest) ; Wait for the response _WinHttpReceiveResponse($hRequest) Local $sHeader = _WinHttpQueryHeaders($hRequest) ; ...get full header ; Clean _WinHttpCloseHandle($hRequest) _WinHttpCloseHandle($hConnect) _WinHttpCloseHandle($hOpen) ; Display retrieved header MsgBox(0, "Header", $sHeader)Everything you need to be able to use this UDF can be found at WinHttp site. Remember, basic understanding of the HTTP protocol is important to use this interface. ProgAndy, trancexx WinHttp.au3 is completely free and no one has right to charge you for it. That's very important. If you feel WinHttp.au3 was helpful to you and you wish to support my further work you can donate to my personal account via PayPal address: trancexx at yahoo dot com I will appreciate that very much. Thank you in advance! :kiss:

Danp2, Excellent - the crystal ball is working well today. A very good example of why you should use constants and not magic numbers - guinness will be pleased! I will alter the function for the next release - thanks for reporting the problem. M23 Edit: And done.

Okey Js. I'll fix it. thank you. Update.

Yes, the procedure is called "inter process communication" and there are many ways to do it with most of them having example around the forums. A simple search should get you reading quickly.

astronaut, Then you need to use _FileListToArrayRec which will list all the subfolders on the path for you. M23

rootx, dog ate your helpfile?* Look at FileInstall in the help file, or the ResourcesEX UDF in the Examples forum. *in my best Melba impersonation

32 hex chars = 16 bytes = 2128 = 340282366920938463463374607431768211456 combinations, about 2.7 times the distance from Earth to the Hubble Deep Field, measured in picometers. Despite time not being a problem for you, I nonetheless wish you good luck living that long for trying all these little values with your little program. When you're able to think again after some sleep, please read forum rules which forbid brute force attacks.

Can you post what you have done so far script wise?

Simplified (?) version of a function originally posted by guinness @ Improvements (?): Does not require Date.au3 include and Date string can be passed with or without separators ConsoleWrite(_IsDateOrAboveEx(@YEAR & "/" & @MON & '/' & @MDAY-3) & @CRLF) ; Returns False ConsoleWrite(_IsDateOrAboveEx(@YEAR & @MON & @MDAY+1) & @CRLF) ; Returns True Func _IsDateOrAboveEx($sDateString) ;Check if a date is equal to/or has passed the current date. ;Pass the string as YYYYMMDD, with or without separators e.g. 20140815 or 2014/08/15, or 2014-08-15, or 2014.08.15 ;Original concept by guinness http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/139260-autoit-snippets/#entry1005153 Return Number(StringRegExpReplace($sDateString, "\D|$", "")) >= NUMBER(@YEAR & @MON & @MDAY) EndFunc

Yes yes, I glow in the dark. For example, every time that Einstain guy would came up with some new scheme first thing he'd do is consult my supreme(ness). I would say to him: "Ok Albert, this is fine, but wtf is this? Give me the chalk! Let me draw it for you, simple and ad hoc, you'll get nowhere just depending on our small talk. Learning, learning and nothing but learning, that's the only way to see what's good and what's, OMFG, concerning. Different things for you to be aware, ...doh see this, your "c" here misses square. The rest is more or less ok, so for you, something contemplative - Albert remember, everything is relative."
