Auto Update

Test if a automatic update is possible

First we need to test if httpRequest is enabled
if (httpCanRequest()) {

Get your code and save it

If the upper test returns 1 we can continue with fetching our code from a external page
httpRequest("http://e2.net/my/code.txt")

If we get a httpClk() == 1 we can save the code as a file
fileWrite(">e2shared/my_code.txt",httpData())
It's important to know that you can only save files under the e2shared folder!

Example

@name httpRequest
@persist HTTP

# To run the expression when a request finishes
runOnHTTP(1)

# If it's the first run and you can make a new request
if (!HTTP & httpCanRequest()) {
    print("Getting the code")
    HTTP = 1
    # Starts a new request
    httpRequest("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Heacien/Fam-Freeman/master/httpRequest")
} 

# If a completed request was run 
if (httpClk() & HTTP == 1) { 
    print("Saving the code")
    HTTP = 2
    # Writes string data to the file (overwriting it)
    fileWrite(">e2shared/httpRequest.txt", httpData()) 
}
