I need to do a sniffer on the http headers to get last-modified and possibily the eTag, that in itself is simple, the trouble is it needs to cope with a re-direct.

The re-direct won't always be the same either (its re-directing to a cache) so it needs to be dynamic and get the re-direct URL and then do the http sniff on the header from that.

My scripting skills are very limited, any ideas? (i need it so i can monitor the date on some vidoes on a couple of servers without doing it manualy each time) - I'm lazy

I'm lazy too

i am not a developer, i am an Analyst! - Hence poor scripting 

[Gaffers]

i am not a hard working IT professional developer, i am an IT 'professional' who thinks he knows about developingAnalyst! - Hence poor scripting

Need to learn scripting then.

I am glad I can do both analysis and programming.

My hate is spread sheets - why use them when it is easier to write a program to do the same job

or, in the case of the latest version of "MS Orifice", it's easier to write yourself a spreadsheet application, and then construct a spreadsheet to do what you want.

One of my jobs as a student was to maintain an application developed in Excel, the thing was it required a helluvalota code to make work just like....ummm....Access!  He wouldn't let me rewrite it into Access because he said he didn't know the application.  No matter how much I said to him that I could make the interface more friendly he was adamant.  Oh well it kept the pennies rolling in each time he broke the fragile code!

I saw the latest version of Word - horrible - no menus!

Spreadsheets - they are weird, I just cannot get on with them, once I was asked to write some calcs, ended up doing a small Clipper executable instead as it was easier and quicker

Many older users - you know the sort - "XP is the best Windows out there" - can't deal with change.  Office 2007 apps, as I'm sure you know, uses the Microsoft 'Ribbon' toolbar, which is context sensitive, and only shows currently valid options, mostly as icons.

To be honest, its a system that works well imho - Office 2003 had so many options all over the menu, mostly all greyed out, that it was unusable if you were new to the product.

I don't want icons - I want a piece of text which says what it is.

Only Icons I need to know are compile, run, link, search, search & replace.

Any other piece of software is occasional so need to know what an option is.

So using the ribbon bar for occasional users like you and I makes it so much easier , particularly as every icon has a tooltip

Unfortunately those simple compiler days are over..

in a multiple developer, development environment you spend more time on the libraries, settings,overridings  than the function code itself..

and for the web you need many different parts to code.. server side, client side,html etc etc..rather garbage..

Too slow - just want a thing to change fonts, a file, print, a file save, if it needs tooltips it is not clear enough
