Ahh...I see!...I really had a hard time reading the find_service code trying to understand what that option does! Thanks alot Michel! Just another question if you don't mind, "Network connection timeout" sets the threshold for declaring a timeout for a connection and "Wrapped service read timeout" sets the time limit before declaring a service a blocked. But I don't quite understand the "Network read/write timeout" part. Could you clarify that or perhaps refer me to any info regarding it?
