Increase timeout values. WinInet

[Saju Paul]

Hi,

I have IE7 installed and I am using the WinInet library for http requests.
There is a peculiar requirement in my app where I have to wait for a long
time to get the response for the request I make calling HttpSendRequest. But
the call times out after 30 seconds or so. I have tried things mentioned in
the link below but could not get it to work.

It always times out after 30 seconds saying ERROR_INTERNET_TIMEOUT.

Did you tried to set timeout option on a handle using InternetSetOption?

Thanks. Actually I had tried it earlier but could not get it to work. When
you pointed out the same thing, I tried it again and got it to work.
Thanks!.
For the benefit of others, here is what worked for me.
b = InternetSetOption(hInternetHandle, INTERNET_OPTION_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT,
&dwTimeut, sizeof(DWORD));
