Well, actually I've had good luck with Rick's stuff except for an instance like this where it seems to have been a combination of how I was configuring the FTP object (instantiated from the wwFTP class) and also perhaps a config setting in IE or elsewhere. I found out what happened: nHTTPConnectType was set to zero. Letting it stay at the default of 1 solved my issue. I've rolled my own framework, but in this case I'm content using Rick's stuff, especially since I use it for web development, too. Thanks for the reply.


>>I'm using the West Wind wwFTP class to do some transfers via FTP and it uses the InternetSetOption DLL. When it is cleared at the end of program execution, it "hangs" - it sits there for around 60 seconds or so, then goes on. I assume it does clear it, but in any event program execution continues normally and the program shuts down. But I'm not sure why this delay is occurring and would obviously like to be rid of it. Anyone have any ideas?

I looked at them all, and finally settled on rolling my own using pieces and concepts from the "SendMail.PRG" on Wiki. It took me a lot less time to just code to my specifications than it did for me to attempt to use third party commercial controls.
