wininet timeout
Hi,
I'm using wininet API to perform uploading of big files to a server (IIS),
including going through authentication. Everything works just fine, except
that i keep getting timeout (at least this is what i think) after abuout 3
minutes.
The setting in the IIS are ok - using web config:
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="208400" executionTimeout="1500"/>
i also checked when i drop this number to for example 15 seconds the
connection is stoped after around 30 seconds (because of the authentication
phase, i see 2 calls coming out from the client, the first fails
authentication and the seconds succeeds).
i tried setting the timeout using all possible flags i could find:
DWORD dwLength = sizeof(DWORD);
DWORD dwTimeut = 1500000; // 1500 seconds
InternetSetOption(hSession, INTERNET_OPTION_SEND_TIMEOUT, &dwTimeut,
sizeof(DWORD));
InternetSetOption(hSession, INTERNET_OPTION_DATA_SEND_TIMEOUT, &dwTimeut,
sizeof(DWORD));
InternetSetOption(hSession, INTERNET_OPTION_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT, &dwTimeut,
sizeof(DWORD));
InternetSetOption(hSession, INTERNET_OPTION_DATA_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT, &dwTimeut,
sizeof(DWORD));
InternetSetOption(hSession, INTERNET_OPTION_CONTROL_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT,
&dwTimeut, sizeof(DWORD));
InternetSetOption(hSession, INTERNET_OPTION_CONTROL_SEND_TIMEOUT, &dwTimeut,
sizeof(DWORD));
but i keep getting this timeout everytime without any change (it also
doesn't work when i set it to a smaller number e.g. 5 seconds).
i saw a few references about this feature not working properly, but i also
saw some people referring to it as working.
I have IE7 installed on my XP machine.
i would be very appriative if anyone can "shed some light" on this issue.
10x.
