Hi Francois,
> You should be able to catch it by assigning an event handler to
THttpCli.CtrlSocket.OnBgException
I followed your suggestion and created this :
=====
HttpCli->CtrlSocket->OnBgException=HttpException;
HttpCli->GetASync();
=====
void __fastcall HttpComponent::HttpException
(TObject *Sender, Exception *E, bool &CanClose)
{
DebugText("Exception occurred...");
}
=====
Then I trigger an error situation by saving the received http data to a
TFileStream located on an USB memory stick which has insufficient free space
(as describer in my earlier mail). This will trigger an exception in
procedure TStream.WriteBuffer : 'Stream write error' which is located in
'...\Win32\rtl\common\classes.pas'.
Unfortunately, the exception does not cause the handler defined in
HttpCli->CtrlSocket->OnBgException to be called.
Do you have any ideas about what I'm doing wrong ?
Thank you,
Kris

You should be able to catch it by assigning an event handler to
THttpCli.CtrlSocket.OnBgException.
Ideally I should expose this OnBgException in THttpCli.

Mostly winsock errors. Try accessing a host where no server is operating.

Wrong. There may be exception in the early phase, before async operation
occurs.
