    Timeout for HTTPSendRequest

    I am calling HttpSendRequest() to get response header from a url. But HttpSendRequest takes more than 2 seconds to return. Why is this so? Is there anyway I can set a timeout for this? I tried SetInternetOption() using INTERNET_OPTION_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT after calling HttpOpenRequest() but that did not work. Thanks in advance..

    Try calling InternetSetOption before calling HttpSendRequest.

    Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by
    definition, not smart enough to debug it.

    You should set:
    INTERNET_OPTION_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT
    INTERNET_OPTION_SEND_TIMEOUT
    INTERNET_OPTION_CONNECT_TIMEOUT

    If you set all three to 2 seconds, then the entire operation could take up to 6 seconds.
