HTTP Get File issues

FinalBuilder Discussion

We are running across an issue where we are getting:

Error retrieving url : Socket Error # 10060
Connection timed out.

As a response from an HTTP Get File action. The action attempts to download a 1.5 MB xml file. We think this is occuring because the file is too large. Is there a maximum size that the HTTP Get File action can handle without timing out?

Also, for feature requests, you might want to add a "Timeout" value to HTTP Get File action (although I don't think that will help me in this instance), and also a retry count (although that can probably be manually done through action loop trickery already in FB).

Thanks,
Nathan

Hi Nathan

I just had a quick look at the source, we don’t explicitly set the timeout value unless the user specifies it (on the Runtime tab), my guess is the library we use has some default value (still trying to figure out what that is). Try setting a timeout to a suitably large value.

Oh and all actions have a Retry option on the Runtime tab.

Looks like setting the timeout property on the Runtime tab worked.

Thanks,
