Hi,  
I am working on a demo project to read variable value from a PLC using HTTP GET Request. I am reading the value of variable **var3** using this script:  
result = system.net.httpGet(“[http://192.168.1.220/dir/cgi-bin/readVal.exe?@GV.var3](http://192.168.1.220/dir/cgi-bin/readVal.exe?@GV.var3)”)

I am getting proper response with variable value to result for first time. But when I send the request again, I am not getting the new value but instead I am getting the last received value.

Anyone can help on this to sort out it.

Thanks in advance.  
Irshad

Try setting the `useCaches` parameter to `false`.

[https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/system.net.httpGet](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/system.net.httpGet)

```auto
system.net.httpGet(url = "...", useCaches = false)

```
