Re: [fpc-pascal] Ethernet Relays

[James Richters via fpc-pascal]

I added ssockets now I can compile it.

I have this working with the ssockets unit added:
Try
   S:=TFPHTTPCLIENT.SIMPLEGET('http://10.10.01.01/30000/15');
 except
   On E: ESocketError do
     Writeln('Could not connect to server'); end;

But when I try the version with the timeout, I always get the error.
What is the proper way to get the page into a variable with the timeout method?
I tried S:= C.Get('http://10.10.01.01/30000/15');  But I'm not sure that's the 
right way to do it, but even without the S:= I always get the EsocketError

 uses fphttpclient,ssockets;

 Var
   C : TFPHTTPClient;

 begin
   C:=TFPHTTPClient.Create(Nil);
   try
      try
        C.ConnectTimeout:=10; // Or whatever you think is good
        C.Get('http://10.10.01.01/30000/15');
      except
        On E: ESocketError do
          Writeln('Could not connect to server');
      end;
   finally
     C.Free;
   end;
 end;

Add the ssockets unit to your uses clause.
