Dear all,

I'm writing a Visual FoxPro program that downloads file from a web site.
I'm calling the functions in WININET.DLL to do that.

The functions that I called are:
InternetOpen
InternetSetOption
InternetOpenUrl
InternetReadFile
InternetCloseHandle

I'd like to set a timeout using a function("InternetSetOption") before i am calling the function "InternetOpenUrl" and "InternetReadFile".

it seems that "InternetReadFile" will wait forever if the connection
is lost.So i try to fix it as follow :
In my program, I've written:

#DEFINE INTERNET_OPTION_CONNECT_TIMEOUT 2
#DEFINE INTERNET_OPTION_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT 6
#DEFINE INTERNET_OPTION_SEND_TIMEOUT 5

DECLARE INTEGER InternetSetOption IN WININET.DLL ;
INTEGER,INTEGER,INTEGER @,INTEGER

llRetVal=InternetSetOption(nSession,;
INTERNET_OPTION_CONNECT_TIMEOUT,;
@dwTimeoutSecs,4)

llRetVal=InternetSetOption(nSession,;
INTERNET_OPTION_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT,;
@dwTimeoutSecs,4)

llRetVal=InternetSetOption(nSession,;
INTERNET_OPTION_SEND_TIMEOUT,;
@dwTimeoutSecs,4)

Howerver "InternetSetOption" always return 1 and "InternetReadFile" will wait forever!!!

Any suggestions?

Thanks very much.
