WebDAV - configuration of default timeout

[Pessoft]

Hello,

WebDAV uses default timeout for connection over HTTP ( probably wininet's 30s ). This is too short for some hosts on slow connections and/or for hosts with a lot of content, when it is not possible to retrieve directory content within limit.

Is it possible to allow configuration of WebDAV plugin's timetout?

Thanks for feedback.

It seems that you can set this in the registry, see:

in the comments at the bottom:

Here are all the timeout values verified by me which are undocumented or wrongly documented above. All values are in milliseconds.

ConnectTimeOut,
SendTimeOut,
ReceiveTimeOut,
KeepAliveTimeOut

If not present in the registry, the default values are 60 seconds for connect and 30 seconds for send / receive.

Configuration of Send and Receive time-outs solved this issue for me. However I guess that for users who do not like/know to edit registry, configuration option in TC preferences or WebDAV connection would be useful

For those who would like to increase their limits to 120seconds, you can create reg file with following content and import it:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]

"SendTimeOut"=dword:0001d4c0

"ReceiveTimeOut"=dword:0001d4c0

Thanks for hint
