It is totally incorrect. Such a loop will prevent any event from occuring and the state of the component will not change since it is blocked. If you want to use a wait loop (you should use events instead), then you /must/ call your message pump. If you use TWSocket own message loop, then call your twsocket instance ProcessMessages method. And do not use HTTP.State to end the loop but a flag you set in OnRequestDone event. To break TWSocket message loop, you can post WM_QUIT message. Contribute to the SSL Effort.
