Hi Experts<br />
<br />
I have a server side ASP script that recieves an XML document that can include a batch of jobs ot process and then sends each single job to another asp script over Serverxmlhttp to process and awaits a response. Once all jobs in the xml have been processed the total response is then returned to the sender.<br />
<br />
The problem I have is that whilst each job typically takes less than a second to process, sporadically Serverxmlhttp seems to hang for anything up to 30 seconds on a single request which then times out the whole process and the sender recieves no repsonse, even if all but the last job has been processed.<br />
<br />
At this point I am accepting that the Serverxmlhttp object is going to sporadically do this and so need to add some way of handling instances where this happens.<br />
<br />
What I would like to do is set a max timeout value of maybe 5 seconds for each job and if it takes longer than this for a response to be able to handle the timeout error, generate an appropriate response for that job record for the sender and move onto the next one.<br />
<br />
How might I best do this?<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />
<br />

How to handle timeout exceptions when using MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP in ASP

Active Server Pages (ASP) is Microsoft’s first server-side engine for dynamic web pages. ASP’s support of the Component Object Model (COM) enables it to access and use compiled libraries such as DLLs. It has been superseded by ASP.NET, but will be supported by Internet Information Services (IIS) through at least 2022.
