Question : Java Script, Retry on HTTP GET Connection Timeout

Hi there,

I need to add the feature of if the website is unavailable, to wait 10 seconds and try again. If my website is still unavailable, try again 5 times, if still navailable, echo "UnableToConnect" then exit.

IT WOULD LOGICALLY LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS (but in Java Script):

SET ConnectCounter=0
:Home
Echo http://www.MyWebSite.com
Send the GET command to the website and ECHO it out
If can't connect to http://www.MyWebSite.com  (
   If %ConnectCounter% GEQ 5 (
   ECHO UnableToConnect
   EXIT
   )
  SET /a ConnectCounter=%ConnectCounter%+1
  Add a delay of 10Seconds
)
Goto home


HERE IS MY ORIGINAL WORKING JAVA SCRIPT:
var request = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
var notyetready = 1;

request.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if(request.readyState==4)
{
WScript.Echo(request.responseText);
notyetready = 0;
}
}

var objArgs = WScript.Arguments;
WScript.Echo("http://www.MyWebSite.com");
request.open( "GET", "http://www.MyWebSite.com" , true );
request.send(null);

while( notyetready )
{
WScript.Sleep( 100 );
}



Thanks for your help,
Rene

I don't know JavaScript very well, but JavaScript is not Java.. they only have their names in common.  You want to put your question under prog languages/scripting languages/JavaScript.  Good luck!
