    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...

    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

    Well I'm not an audiophile but I do enjoy better than average sound. Would the onboard digital out at least get me to better than average if I'm playing a DVD with the DTS track for example?

    It would be out of a box or the 5500's but I'm leaning towards out of a box.

    Home Theater system on a PC

    I'm wondering how onboard digital audio outputs (asus p4p800e deluxe) compare to the digital output on an Audigy 2 for example. I am considering getting a home theater setup on my computer and if I can get by without getting a dedicated sound card then of course I will.

    SFF for the summer?

    I go halfway across the country for school, and obviously transporting my 19" CRT and my tower is a little bit of a logistical problem. This summer I plan on buying a 19" LCD and a SFF (I'm not very fond of laptops, especially if I have to buy it). I'm a bit out of the loop on SFF and what's...

    disabling key combos in XP

    I am going to be writing an application that, because of where it will be used (in a customer environment), requires that keys and key combos that could take the user outside of the application and into the computer be disabled. I have disabled the windows key with a .reg file, but I'm unsure...

    human teleportation possibilities

    Let us assume that teleportation is possible through the copy/destroy technique. Would the copy (person B) retain the same memories and knowledge that person A had? Wouldn't you have to recreate the entire neural network that person A had? I imagine this would go far beyond recreating the...

    Nickel 'nanodots' could mean tiny hard drives

    Neat and all, but I thought that one problem with increasing the density of modern hard drives is that the magnetic fields created by all the little bits start to interfere with one another. How is this any different at 10 times the density (well 10 times smaller anway)?

    RAID 1 for your CPU and memory?

    With a dualcore P4, you will have 4 logical processors. Most people would not need that, so why not put it to use? It sure as hell would give Intel a HUGE selling point. (I say intel because I have a P4 and the hyperthreading is nice, but I wouldn't give up a thread to reduduancy checks...

    eh...I knew I wasn't that innovative. Any chance this might eventually trickle down to consumer grade equipment? Especially with dual core chips on the horizon?

    RAID 1 for your CPU and memory?

    This was an idea that just raced through my mind. In a multi CPU or multi core system, would it be possible to only use cpu 0 (and its memory) and have cpu 1 (and its memory) acting as a redudant processor incase cpu 0 encounters an error (OS crash for example). I imagine something like...

    Then would a 10 dimensional creature have an 11th dimension they call time, or would time be one of the 10 dimensions?

    3d representation of a 4d world?

    Something I just wondered about, if you take a photograph, you get a 2d representation of our 3d world. If a 4d creature were to take a picture of their world, would they get a 3d representation? Could they give it to us for us to see?

    Help! Random restart on Win xp Pro

    Yeah...that PSU is unfamiliar to me. But anyway, if by driver error you are reffering to it's inability to find Direct X 8.1, try going back to that isntead of 9.03c. I'm not real sure if a reformat didn't do the trick. Have you read the game's FAQ?

    Pathetic 3D Mark 05 scores on my new rig

    Make sure you have AA/AF turned off. I didn't bother trying with '05, but I know in '03 and '01 it makes a difference. P4 2.6, 2gb 3200 and 9800 PRO 256meg I get 2,267 marks.

    Silicon Replacement

    It was just a computer literacy course, but it's required before i can take other computer science courses. 1) Intel and AMD have a very large investment in silicon, and there is no reason for them to start using diamonds. 2) They can't produce large enough diamond wafers to make a...
