Hi,

I'm using the XMLHTTP object to upload SOAP/XML in my program (VB6). It works fine on broadband on LAN & dial-up, but for a 1-way satellite connection (satellite download, POTS upload) the readyState = 4 basically as soon as .send is called. The .statusText is not what is expected.

Unfortunately, this problem is occurring on customers' machines and the .status and .statusText are not available.

Does anyone know why the satellite connection may give different results?

Thanks a lot for any help.

' abort as boolean 'global variable
    Dim objHTTP As New XMLHTTP
    Dim strMessage As String

    'Create the xml string (file) to send (has been truncated here)
    strMessage = "<?xml version=""1.0"" encod" ...

    objHTTP.open "post", XML_ADDRESS, True
    objHTTP.send strMessage

    Dim startTime As Single
    startTime = Timer
    'wait for response, allow user to quit
    Do While Not abort And objHTTP.readyState <> 4
        Sleep 10
        DoEvents
    Loop
