SYMPTOMS
Once the RequestTimeout property of Internet Transfer Control is set to 0, calling methods such as Execute for FTP resource generates the following error:

"Run-time error '35754': Unable to connect to remote host".

Calling Execute for HTTP resource causes error 12002 "Timeout".



CAUSE
According to the documentation, setting timeout to 0 means infinity. This is incorrect; the Internet Transfer Control does not interpret 0 as infinity.



RESOLUTION
To avoid the problem, do not set timeout to 0.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
