    Cancelling an http request after programmed connection timeout

    That's correct. If the method was get it didn't require (in fact would give me an error "cannot send content body with this verb type") a request, only to get the response. However, for some reason with my code that does an async request, it will only work if I do send something. So if the...

    Cancelling an http request after programmed connection timeout

    A few lines above that right before the 4 closing braces it will return responseString if the request was successful. Hard to follow becuase of the formatting. I tried changing the request to be an asynchttp request. Assuming I've implemented it correclty, this does not appear to be...

    Cancelling an http request after programmed connection timeout

    These are the functions that send and receive the requests. I realize there's a lot of things in here that may not be done entirely properly :o so unless they could be causing my problem, please overlook them :) In the even bigger picture (the entire project is close to 6000 lines, with most...

    Cancelling an http request after programmed connection timeout

    Earlier I had tried disposing the streams in a finally, but it did not help. I tried usings as you suggested, but I'm still getting the same problems. As far as the exceptions go, the code I posted above is a function and that function call is in a try catch, so they are caught by the calling...

    Cancelling an http request after programmed connection timeout

    I have tried that. if anything it seemed to make the problem worse, although that's hard to say for sure because of how the system behaves after you get these timeouts.

    Cancelling an http request after programmed connection timeout

    I'm writing an application that simplifies some web site interfaces I use at work, and one of them in particular is causing problems. It uses a persistent connection to keep you logged in. I have a relatively short timeout set on the http request since normally the website is very fast, but it...

    Manufacturer prices-Distributor prices

    I bought a dell 2007fpw (or wfp, whatever it is) for $415 shipped. A friend of mine who works at a big distributer says he coulda gotten it for me for $200. Somehow I find that hard to believe though.

    Screen blanking after XP loading screen

    Do you have any external storge devices plugged in? This can cause windows to not load. A USB printer will also do this if it has a memory card slot (even if nothing is in the slot).

    Educate me on eSATA

    Great, so the one 5 bay enclosure will allow 5 drives to be accessed through one link to the computer. Thanks!

    Educate me on eSATA

    I'm looking to build a new system around christmas time, and I've got a few options I'm considering. One is a SFF, and to do this I'll need a multi-bay enclosure of some sort. I'm definitely considering (wanting) eSATA. I found one company selling 4/5 bay enclosures that hook up to your...

    Looking to purchase a Viewsonic VX2025WM

    What is the banding issue? I just bought a 2007wpf and I don't notice anything abnormal about the picture.

    Home Theater system on a PC

    I'm not a console gamer ;-) Thanks for the advice, I'll look into that card if I'm not satisfied with the onboard.

    Home Theater system on a PC

    Gamingphreak also said that digital is digital. Will I see a difference with that sound card? How coincidental. I set up that exact same system for a friend a little while back.

    Home Theater system on a PC

    I am only concerned with digital and not too concerned with cpu overhead.

    Home Theater system on a PC

    I'm willing to spend $300 for everything (meaning a sound card if needed).
