Indeed the httpsendrequest() *fails* in WW Web Monitor when IIS fails. And WW Web Monitor doesn't "see" a problem! It just appears to hang too; until finally something comes back from IIS maybe 10 mins later. Weird.
We own WWWC so maybe I should re-check the package.
Try
http://www.ht.com.au/scripts/xworks.exe?COOKIELISTand look for "COOKIEJAR" (my sense of humour in writing table names)
Of course the clients are blaming my Foxpro app, when I really think it's purely a network overload associated with mail servers.
Oh well.

>Yep, you set the URL in web monitor (doesn't have to be a WC site) and it looks at what comes back (searches the HTML returned for a specified string). I'm not sure of the internal workings of the Web monitor, but I guess you're probably right about HttpGetEx.

>>G'Day mate,
>>It's a piece of cake to right the app actually and send emails. But I'll look at it of course. But the Wininet DLL call is hanging every attached app if IIS is hung or screwed in a special way, which I don't think you see every day. (I believe it's being caused by a related email problem on the network with huge numbers of emails being thrown around - some 30,000/hour)
>>So the WW Web Moniter would probably suffer the same fate since Rick would still be using the httpgetex I bet.
>>Also we're not using WWC on the site, we have our own scripters running over x-works, soon to be Foxisapi (we hope) XWorks works great and is fast but the author has taken a dive! So the move to FoxISAPI actually looks fairly simple now that MS have built a decent one (or maybe it's the Rick Strahl version :-)
>>So do you know if WW Web Monitor will monitor any page request?
