Hi, im trying the VDSIPP.DLL and works perfect but i have only one problem.
My program starts an check for a internet connection, if there is one it attempts to save a webpage to a TXT file.
If this page is accessible there is no problem, but if not my prog hangs...
This is my example prog:

INTERNET HTTP,CREATE,1
INTERNET HTTP,THREADS,1,OFF
INTERNET HTTP,PROTOCOL,1,1
INTERNET HTTP,USERAGENT,1,"Example"
INTERNET HTTP,DOWNLOAD,1,http://www.mypage.com,page.txt
INTERNET HTTP,DESTROY,1

How can i wait X time for the mypage.com to be accessable and if not, attempt with mypage2 for X time again?

Is this possible?

Thanks a lot...

Marcelo.

I believe that i need to set a TIMEOUT time between a page and the other...
but how?

[PGWARE]

Why are you using DOWNLOAD? use the GET command to retrieve the text and check the text in your list box. I believe the GET command has a built in timeout, while DOWNLOAD waits indefinately for more data to come with no timeout - the only way to stop a DOWNLOAD request is to use STOP.

Thanks a lot!! I will try GET instead of DOWNLOAD. Let see if i discover how to switch to another page if the first one is unavailable or timeout is big....

Thanks again...
