Read a file from server which is constantly modifying

[Tan23]

Hi, I am new to QT

what I am trying to do is reading a file from server using qtcpserver and socket.

It works fine but the twist is the file on the server side is constantly modifying , how can we automatically update the file on the client side... any thoughts??

Periodically probe it for modifications, say by sending a HTTP request and checking for its cache date?
