hi,

as i couldn't find what ExceptionType is thrown for the timeout ( i search
in the borland newsgroups, google and the website of the netmaster) i wrote
a little test application with the code you gave me:

void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
try
    {
        HTTP1->Get("http://www.borland.com");
     }
    catch (const Exception &e)
    {
        ShowMessage(e.ClassName());
    }
}

To get a timeout i set Timeout = 1; Then the exception shows ESockError.
Then i switch Timeout back to 0 and tried to open a webpage which doesn't
exist. i also get a ESockError. I always get ESockError. So there might be
none possibility to differentiate between timeout and connection error.

i have no more ideas what to do.
