InternetCloseHandle() Hangs

[hector santos]

I have a 4 year old ftp scripting client product using WININET.DLL.

I recently updated it and added the FtpCommand() to send QUOTE commands.

The first thing I noticed is that the the InternetCloseHandle() is hanging
in closing the FTP connection handle after a FtpCommand() is used.

I tested/traced a FTP session against our FTP server and I noticed that
WININET.DLL never sends a QUIT
command to the FTP server.

So I what I did was send the QUOTE QUIT command prior to using the
InternetCloseHandle() and it worked.
InternetCloseHandle() does not hang any more.

Question:

Shouldn't the InternetCloseHandle() for FTP connection handle send the QUIT
command to the server?
If you debug/trace the Windows FTP.EXE client, you will see it issue a QUIT
command when you type the CLOSE command.

And why would InternetCloseHandle() hang in the first place?

Thanks in Advance

Hi there. Can you tell me how do you send the QUIT command prior to he CloseHandle to FTP using the WinInit DLL. I can't find any class to call. I think I am having similar issue that the IIS (on NT4) crashes after a week of open/closing.
