non-blocking post

[Dave Beck]

Is there any way to make a non-blocking post request? Often times when
posting multi-part form data to a URL the post operation appears to time out
and an empty result  and the "it" variable are both left empty if there is a
lag before the server responds. The problem seems to also be related to the
amount of data being posted, but it seems to be most dependant on the lag
time with the server. Is there a non-blocking way to post data to a URL that
may not be subject to this (apparent) timeout issue? Thanks very much in
advance for any help or advice.

 

(I did try setting the socketTimeoutInterval to a very high value but the
problem persists.)

 

Thanks,

Dave
