[vwnc] HttpClient timeout

Maarten Mostert-2


Hi,

I am playing around with the HttpClient and have some questions.

First of all I am trying to set the default timeout to something shorter then 20 seconds with the following code:

    httpClient := Net.HttpClient new.
    httpClient timeout: 2000.
    request := Net.HttpRequest get:
            'http://stakepoint.com/files/support/stakepointupdate137.cfgx'.
    response := [httpClient executeRequest: request]
        on: Error
        do: [:exc | ^false].

Now inside request I do observe the clientPI timeout to be 2000 milliseconds however this seems totally ignored as the requests still takes over 20 seconds to execute.

The second question is wheter there is a smart way to know wheter I should try to connect through a proxy other then by trial and error (the above).


Regards,

@+Maarten,
