refresh http connection

[Davide Pelosi]

Hi all,
suppose you are loading a page and without waiting for completion refresh
the page.

1) The old http socket connection is closed for a new one?

2) The thead on the web server which hold the old connection is freed for a
new connection?

3) A PHP script running on the old http request terminates clearly, exits on
error o whatever?

4) Do you know which http command is send to the web server when the refresh
button (F5) is pushed?

Thanks, Davide.

Why not trace it and see? (E.g. using FiddlerTool or netcap + Ethereal)

I think it depends on the level of HTTP that IE is set for though.
E.g. HTTP 1.1 is a pre-requisite for some caching support.

Check HTTP 1.1 settings (in Options, Advanced tab)

What is the FiddlerTool and do I have it with Windows XP or is it a program to download.....news to me? but a trace sounds handy to have and know about.

Sorry, I didn't know it was that complicated....I just visited the link you
gave and added it to my favorites to maybe get around to later when I am
much more knowledgeable of such tracking/tracing.... I am afraid of
downloading programs that might modify my computer somehow since I just
tonight downloaded OETools and then had to do a complete system restore to
get rid of it!!!it didn't work at all on my computer as it was
described..sounded wonderful especially for the full screen button for
stationery popups but then it wasn't able to locate images needed by the
stationery...groan......

Did you ask first? AFAIK OETools is just a program. You just run it.
Perhaps it was in your Startup folder and you just needed to delete it
there?


BTW netcap is contained in the XP Support Tools (on the XP Pro CD)
and Ethereal is another freeware package which has its own website.
But if FiddlerTool is looking daunting for you you probably would be trying
them *much* later <eg>.

I hope you can screw up your courage to give FiddlerTool a try sometime.
It's more than just a program; so there is some installation required but it is
pretty simple to learn how to use and very useful once you get the hang of it.


Good luck

Robert
