How to timeout URL HTTP Get Document.vi

[IDILIO]

I'm using URL HTTP Get Document.vi to read a file. But sometimes the other machine were is the url is down so the application freezes for a long time because is stucked in URL HTTP Get Document.vi

How can I force that this Vi stops if cannot complete in some time?

You would have to modify the VI to allow you to pass in a timeout value. The defult is 25 seconds. If you decide to modify the VI I recommend you make a copy of all of the HTTP VIs, place them in your user directory (or some other suitable place) and modify those VIs. Use those in place of the shipping VIs.
