give WaitForResponse() a time limit? Topic is solved

[joshatt]

Hi all,
Here's a code from documentation:

Code: Select all

whr := ComObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
whr.Open("GET", "https://random.random2.com/", true)
whr.Send()
; Using 'true' above and the call below allows the script to remain responsive.
whr.WaitForResponse()
version := whr.ResponseText
MsgBox % version

If that site is down for now, after about 30 seconds, it will popup an error window "Error: 0x80072EE2 .... timeout.....WaitForResponse....."
I don't want that error window. How can I give it a 15 seconds limit, then just continue the following code, e.g. test another site?
Or even better: give it a 15 seconds limit, AND, if it turned out failed BEFORE 15 seconds, continue the following code without popup?

How about just letting it reach the point where it gives the error but use Try/Catch to handle whether it errors out or not?

Terrific! Never learned this.

create,open,send,waitfor......which must be included in Try{}, in this case ?

It looks like you are getting the error from WaitForResponse, but the good thing is you don’t have to decide. You can put all of them inside the Try { }, and whatever causes an error will trigger the Catch.

OK, thanks a lot, appreciate it.
