I've got a problem with unresolvable host name and timers: While I'm 
trying to get content of a web page, my program hangs up... after typing 
this URL in Mozilla I got my proxy's answer: unable to resolve requested 
address (or so) meaning there's a problem with DNS. Furthermore I set 15 
sec timeout HTHost_setEventTimeout (15000)

So question is why my application hangs up?

regards

mateusz
