I have wrote a Perl script in Windows 2000 that use an HTTP request to some website, download the html file and save it to my disk. It uses a loop to go through a list of html files. The thing is sometimes a couple of html files will not be downloaded, I believe it is due to a time out connection problem. Because if the server is busy, it takes the server a while to respond, and if it doesn't respond within a specific period. It will drop the connection. I would like to know how to set the http request timeout to be longer in the Windows 2000 Registry, or is there a way to tell the perl program to set the timeout?
