Is there a way to detect a bad http client handle before it locks up LabVIEW?

[WNM]

The attached VI demonstrates a simple way to hang LabVIEW such that the only way to recover full use of it is to kill the LabVIEW process. LabVIEW version is 11.0.1f2 and this problem will occur in both WinXP and Win7.

Is there a way to detect when an HTTP Client Handle refnum is stale and should not be used?

Is this a known bug?
