Hi,
We have some problems with the URL request method, when we set the timeout manually to f.e. 10 sec.
We then get a "no answer" although the website is reachable, when we use the default Windows time-outs, than we have no problems - by the way: What are the default windows timeouts?
A similar problem we have with the telnet connections tests to TCP 80.
Do you have any idea?
We are using Windows 2003 SP2, HM 8.58
Thanks in advance
Martin
Problem with URL request method and manual Timeout
May be your web site does not respond within 10 sec?
Can you provide URL for testing?
Should be some registry key... E.g. TCP/IP setting located under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
May be the same settings are used for wininet functions

Its not easy to find such information regarding wininet (it is used for URL tests). Microsoft keeps secretsWhat are the default windows timeouts?

Hi Alex,
Therefore I tried to set the timeout to f.e. 10 sec.
I will send you the URL for testing by mail.

As I wrote, we don't have any problems, when we use the default windows timeout, we had only a strange problem, that the test was hanging by the status checking for several minutes, although the webserver was down, so we didn't get an alert?May be your web site does not respond within 10 sec?

I am confused.
In 1st post you said "although the website is reachable", now you are saying "although the webserver was down".
So its was down or it was reachable?
If server was reachable, default timeout could work because default timeout is over 10 sec, its about 60 or 300 sec.
So I do not see any problem here. And this is definitely is not our bug.
