Microsoft Internet Transfer Control 6.0

[Crypt]

Hiyas,

I was wondering if someone could answer me a question about this control, there is a property called request timeout, now is this propery for say its download a page and its taking more than 60 (the default prop) seconds to download? because in that case couldn't you just set it to like 1000000 or something and download alot bigger files?.

or is for when a page isn't responseding to your download request, say it stops getting the data from the page for 60 seconds and then gives the error or something?

thanx.

There is a method of Inet called RequestTimeout.
And you can also use:

If Inet1.StillExecuting = True Then 'If object is busy still executing command then...
Inet1.Cancel 'Cancel the request
Else
Exit Sub
End If

I believe that's how it works. I don't use MSinet a lot.

Basically your second idea. The RequestTimeout is how long the client should wait for the data transfer to resume if it is interrupted. It is so you know if something went wrong.
