Hi,
I'm having a VASP which processes an MM7 request, and this process consumes some time. Problem is, that if the MMSC does not get a response after 3 minutes, it sends the request again. How can I cancel this timeout or at least configure its length?

Hi Elad,

Three minutes is a fairly generous timeout, especially with an HTTP request.

But, it is easy enough for us to make a change to add a configurable parameter to extend this timeout if necessary.

We're targeting to have an update patch available toward the end of this week. And since this is a minor change, I've gotten assurance that a configuration setting will be added in the upcoming update.

I will try to remember to post an update to this thread when the update patch is available. (If I don't, please post another reply to check.)

Follow-up.

Updated posted at http://www.nowsms.com/download/patch2006.zip.

Details:

* MM7/EAIF: Add support for configurable HTTP timeout support for external MM7 and EAIF connections to an MMSC. This is the length of time that NowSMS will wait for a response from the MMSC. The default timeout is 120 seconds of inactivity. To increase this timeout, edit the VASP.INI file in the VASPOUT\accountname subdirectory, adding HttpTimeout=#### under the [VASP] header, where #### is the number of seconds to wait for a response before timing out the request.
