Hello Bill, since V8 or so tsNET external is included in any commercial/business license. Even put URL "ftp: or http: will be executed with tsNET by liburl.
So in case you did not manually disabletsNET for your app, you could use tsNetSetTimeouts to set timeout values. By default tsNET does not limit the time a request could take and that might be the reason why the put URL takes forever. The Syntax looks like this tsNetSetTimeouts pDnsCacheTimeout, pRequestTimeoutMS, pConnectTimeoutMS, pAcceptTimeoutMS, pLowSpeedTime, pLowSpeedLimit The second parameter is responsible for the request timeout and has to be set in milliseconds. So for example tsNetSetTimeouts 30, 33000, 300000, 60000, 30, 1000 would set the request timeout to 33 seconds. The other values in my example are the default values. After the timeout the script continues and you could check if the put command returned the expected value.
