Android Question File download from web problems

[jpvniekerk]

It seems I am not getting the latest file to download from the web.

I use B4A 6.00 and Library OkHttpUtils2 (version 2.2)

Code (extracted) is:

Sub Globals
    ...
    Private job1 As HttpJob
    ...
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    ...
    job1.Initialize("job1",Me)
    job1.Download("http://www.{my url}/testfile.csv")
    ...
End Sub

Sub JobDone (Job As HttpJob)
    Log("JobName = " & Job.JobName & ", Success = " & Job.Success)
    If Job.Success = True Then
            Select Job.JobName
                Case "job1"
                    Dim out As OutputStream
                    File.Delete(File.DirDefaultExternal,"testfile.csv")
                    out = File.OpenOutput(File.DirDefaultExternal,"testfile.csv",True)
                    File.Copy2(Job.GetInputStream, out)
                    out.Close
            End Select
        Else
            Log("Error: " & Job.ErrorMessage)
            Job.Release
            Return
    End If
    Job.Release
       ' some code here to read the csv file and create a map...
End Sub

If I change the contents of testfile.csv and upload it, overwriting the old one, the code runs fine, but when I open testfile.csv on the device, it is still the old contents.
If I reboot the device and do it again, the correct file is downloaded.
It seems that the file is downloaded from cache and not directly from the web.
How can I force the file to NOT use the cache, and always download from the web?

Thanks for any help!

You need to trick the server to send you the current file, the easiest way is to send a fake parameter to the server with your request.

Something like:

job1.Download2("http://www.{my url}/testfile.csv", Array as String("q", DateTime.Now))
