Topic: HTTP post timeout after 30 seconds

Hi,

I use the HTTP post command to send a XML request to a destination server. The server keep the connection open (using the keep alive flag) until it is able to send back a response XML structure. Normally, the server need about 45 seconds to send a response.
I set up the timeout property manually. If I set a timeout value less than 30 seconds, the web control aborted the connection after the manually configured timeout. If I set a timeout value greater than 30 seconds (now: 60 seconds), I allways get a timeout after 30 seconds.

Why do I get a timeout after 30 seconds?

Regards, Alexander

Hi,

it seems to be a bug in the Web control. I installed the latest version of the Web control. Now, I am able to set a timeout value greater than 30 seconds.

Hello Alexander,

When the Timeout property is greater than 0, then the Post method blocks until the command completes or an error occurs. When the Timeout property is zero, this method immediately returns and the transfer operates in the background.

Are you saying that you are not able to set Timeout value greater than 30 seconds in the earlier version of Web Control? Using the latest version, are you still getting the timeout error?

I can confirm this behavior. DartWeb.dll v1.8.0.4 would not go beyond a 30-second timeout, whereas v1.8.3.3 has no problem doing so.

Is it possible to get release notes that outline this bugfix?

Thanks for the good work.

Hi,
The release history is here:
http://www.dart.com/ptwb_relhist.aspx

This issue was not explicitly reported, but I believe it was fixed while addressing another Timeout problem (issue 1978).
