Yes, you would, so do that. Your current "solution" doesn’t actually solve the problem you’re trying to address: By having your PHP script download it from that third party site you are not preventing this issue, you’re just moving it from the client to the server. The client is still at the mercy of the speed and uptime of their server(s). A better solution would be to have a cron job (in PHP or bash or whatever) that downloads the file from the third party to a temporary file, then move that file into your site’s filesystem. Then reference your site’s copy of that file in your script tag. Make sure you use a temporary file rather than downloading it directly into place to avoid clients trying to download while it’s being retrieved. Run that cron job as often as you think is needed to make sure it’s always up to date. Ideally that script will make use of If-Modified-Since/Etag/whatever caching mechanism is available from the third party server to not bother actually downloading it unless it’s changed. I’d probably run the script daily, or hourly if it’s very important that it’s always the latest version (it rarely is that important). -Stuart -- Stuart Dallas 3ft9 Ltd http://3ft9.com/
