What version of VFP?

If you can use TRY CATCH, maybe ...

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
try {
    objHTTP.Send();
    String response = objHTTP.ResponseText;
    break;
}
catch (Exception e){
   //probably log this, just for your own info
}
}

Uhhhh, looks like I used Java there. But you should get the picture.
