I've been using httpdump to request a file from a webserver to see if it is
online. It works great when the server is online, but if it is down or not
responding, httpdump never times out trying to connect. I've tried using
InternetSetOption with INTERNET_OPTION_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, but I've had no
success. What is the correct way to set an automatic timeout, using
InternetSetOption or otherwise?
