Refresh a webpage remotely


#1

Is there a webcore command that I can set a remote Android device running fully browser to auto-refresh after a set time for the page that is currently loaded in the browser?

You can add this to the header section of the html page, but please do so cautiously, since it takes all control away from you, the user.

<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="300">
</head>

This example refreshes the page every 5 minutes.


Please keep in mind that most API’s have some kind of limitation. Hammering their server too often may get you banned or they may charge you for excessive use if you aren’t careful.

Thanks - this wont work since the webpage is an external one.
