HTTP Library

[bish0p]

I don't know if I am doing something wrong with the HTTP Library but this code

Sub Getfound()


    wwwreq2.New1("http://www.geocaching.com/my/")
    wwwreq2.TimeOut=120000
    wwwreq2.AddHeader("Cookie",GC_Session_ID&" "&GC_user_id)
    Msgbox(wwwreq2.Headers)
    wwwres2.Value = wwwreq2.GetResponse

    tmp=wwwres2.GetString
    Textbox1.Text=tmp
    regex.New1("Caches Found: [0-9]+")
    match.Value=regex.Match(tmp)
    
    Return SubString(match.String,13,StrLength(match.String))
End Sub

Works like a charm on the Desktop hangs on the "wwwres2.Value = wwwreq2.GetResponse" on my device

After I have logged onto the site I ask it to fetch the number of caches I have found. This is done my calling Geocaching - Login with the ASP.NET_SessionID set to the correct Cookie,

It seems that once I have connected to 2 URLS it the device hangs on the third call to GetResponse. Yes I have the current version of the HTTP Lib.

Any Ideas.

Maybe you need to close the webresponse before starting a new one?
(just thinking out loud here)

-=edit=-
seems to a correct assumption, form the help file :
-----
Sub GetText (URL)
Response.New1
Request.New1(URL)
Response.Value = Request.GetResponse 'This line calls the server and gets the response.
string = Response.GetString 'Get the Response string.
Response.Close
return string
End Sub

Well spotted Mr_Gee . From the book "Network Programming for the .NET Framework".

should be closed ... if not called the application will leak resources and run out of allowed connections.

So even if not the root problem here definitely something that needs doing in any case.

Yup that did it, I don't know how I missed that ...

Thanks
