winCE C＃HttpWebresponse超时

Question

I'm programming a Windows CE 6 device and want to make a request on a local Server! The device and the Server are in the same Wireless Network.

The device tries to perform a getresquest() on the Server.

public int test()
{
    string var1 = "whatever";
    req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.create("http://192.168.x.x/test.php?var1=" + var1);

The requesttimeout is set to 1 second.

req.Timeout = 1000;

Then I Try to get a response:

try
{
    res = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();
}

catch(Exception e)
{
    //What happens if an exception occures
}

My big problem is that the request sometimes times out but send the data to the server! Is there a possiblity to check if the data was transfer to the server or not?

Answer 1

The timeout applies to the time required to send the request and get a response back from server. In that case it seems that send has been completed and timeout happens when your client is waiting for the response.
