I agree with that assessment. I have begun to change my code to use the Chilkat ActiveX control. There is a lot more detail and a way to parse the information returned by the control in code. https://www.chilkatsoft.com/ The bundle is worth the price.

Maybe wrap it in a TRY... CATCH and retry? Make sure to have a counter/time check so that if network is REALLY down, you don't get stuck in a loop: TRY, wait a few seconds on failure, repeat, give up after a couple of attempts.

Thanks Andy & Tracy, I had misread it, I thought VFP couldn't find the msxml3.dll resource!!! Reading it again as the control can't find the URL resource now makes a lot of sense.
