How to read from a remote txt file via http?

2004-01-20T12:32:16-04:00

For an 10 minutes *timer* use something like:

Code:

bind time - "?0 *" my:time

as for the web thing (requires http package):

Code:

package require httpset token [::http::geturl "your_url_goes_here"]set content [::http::data $token]::http::cleanup $content

and get your stuff from $content.

How to read from a remote txt file via http?

2004-01-19T22:05:41-04:00

Hey,

I've made a web script that generates a single line text file containing data posted on a webform.

I need to write a tcl that checks say every 10 seconds or so that will read that text file via a http:// call and then set the content to a variable to be used inside the script.

The eggdrop and the web server are un LAN'd seperate boxes.

Can anyone help?
