Which will return a 5 digit code in the 12xxx range from WinInet for errors not returned by a server) Of the 5xx 504 is more justifiable than 502, as then you can pretend the browser is simply a proxy which has timed out, 502 which specifically mentions an invalid response doesn't sound a good idea. I believe Safari now has a 1 year timeout, so that could be an interesting test to run on a release build :-) Jim.
