I use the datasocket Read VI in LabVIEW to read images off a webpage. I append [text] to get the image back in a string and can then save it to the local harddrive.
Trouble is, without reporting an error, the vi will on occasion return the same image it returned on the last call. (Eventhough it was from a different URL)
Has anyone else observed this?
Does anyone know what to do about it?
It used to happen about 2.5% of the time, but now it appears to happen much more frequent.
The big difference is that the HTTP apache server is now much closer.
Any ideas?

Interesting, I have used the Datasocket VIs to do a similar thing in the past without error. Do you happen to have any example URLs we could use to reproduce this?
