Does anyone know how to set up set up a default action for when a ServerXMLHTTP request times out? I'm using setTimeouts() to set the time out options according to the MSDN site.
Ideally I would like to initialize the request again from the beginning or refresh the page should it time out.
I'm using classic asp and jscript.
Here's my request:
function serverXmlHttp(url) {
var serverXmlHttp;
serverXmlHttp = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.6.0");
// set time out options
serverXmlHttp.setTimeouts(15000,15000,15000,15000);
// does not work
// serverXmlHttp.ontimeout(Response.Write("page has timed out"));
serverXmlHttp.open("GET", url, false);
serverXmlHttp.send();
if (serverXmlHttp.readyState == 4) {
return serverXmlHttp.responseText;
}
}
The important thing is to find out why it is timing out ..
Is the remote Url on the same application as the calling page ?
if so have a look at INFO: Do Not Send ServerXMLHTTP or WinHTTP Requests to the Same Server as you will be facing thread starvation ..
