Thanks for sharing. I was doing that the oposite way. I mean, I was starting the request on a thread, checkinv every 100ms if it was done, and killing it after a certain period of time. But some time the abort was not working and it was feeling my memory with pending threads...
If I use such a solution, does it mean that the 2 TimeOut that I'm already setting are useless? Will the abort close both the TCP and the HTTP connections? Thanks, JM 2012/12/16, Stephen J.
