I have some GET calls to web-service. I do not use any of WSDL services, just HTTP connection object. Sometimes the server is down or there is no connection. 1c hangs up until gets any response from server / HTTP handler. This could take forever.
So I want to implement asynchronous call to remote resource o kill connection by timeout.

What is the best way to do it?

Hello, Alexey!

Try Timeout property of HTTPConnection object.

Timofey, your method fails. It actually force the system to terminate (crashes platform).
Have tried on 8.2.17 8.3.4.408,447
The code is as follows:

   // set connection with server
   Try
         Connection = New HTTPConnection(ServerAddress,,,,10,True);
   Except
       Message("Couldn't connect to online verification server:" 
             + Chars.LF + ErrorInfo().Description, MessageStatus.Important);
       Return ErrorInfo();
   EndTry;

Try using javascript ajax requests in HTMLDocument field.

Hello, Alexey.
You have misplaced Timeout in parameters. It should be 6th, not 5th.
And 7th parameter type is not Boolean, so if you do not need a secure connection, assign Undefined there.

Connection = New HTTPConnection(Host, Port, User, Password, Proxy, Timeout, SecureConnection);
