FYI I'm on HP-UX and have a regular timer and a SIGALRM signal handler. I've set a timeout on my POST using HTHost_setEventTimeout(). I've found though that when I POST and the server doesn't respond then the timeout never I occurs, I just hang waiting for the response. This only seems to happen when the interval I specify in HTHost_setEventTimeout() is greater than the interval of my timer. I've tried in vain to understand why this should be by looking at the libwww code but I've given up The solution for me was to remove and restore my SIGALRM handler either side of the POST. cheers Graham. ==================================================== NDS Corporate Headquarters Has Moved From 1 Heathrow Boulevard to : One London Road Staines Middlesex TW18 4EX Please note that all phone/fax numbers remain the same ==================================================== Information contained in this email message is intended only for use of the individual or entity named above.
