WGET uses HTTP or FTP to "GET" a file. it sound like what you need to
do is more simple, Open up a socket, send a string wait for a response
although similar to HTTP is actually a protocol of it's own. Writing a
program in just about any language with a good socket library wouldn't
be hard at all.

Hi, looooooooooooked at the docs and can you give me a quick yes or no.
I had a situation where I need to send a string down a specific IP:PORT
Example of sting <@CHAR 2>String<@CHAR 3>
And then wait for results.
I am doing this through PHP and calling it from a IFRAME.
Can WGET do this?

It is, check out --timeout=<seconds>, by default its set to 15 minutes

I would suggest using an external action to call a 3rd party tool to do
the @URL, like "wget"
wget is probably robust enough to handle a configurable timeout value.

There is no direct method, no. This should be on the wishlist, I've
wanted something like this as well. One thing that you can do is use
@URL without wait for results to fire off another TAF which will @URL
with wait for results. This second taf will save the response in a
variable or text file or something. Then have have the first app
@SLEEP for 15 seconds and see if the var/text file is available. If
not, move on. The second TAF will timeout naturally if the site isn't
available. Crude, but it should work - 5.5 only with the @SLEEP, but
you can use other COM based sleep objects. Robert

a response then timeout, regardless of the system QueryTimeout setting?

*The 5.5 syntax has a WAITFORRESULT attribute, but it expects true or
false. *

to wait 15 seconds or so then continue on.*
