Is the program that calls GETURI actually returning to
the VARPG program?
You don't say exactly what you mean by "killed" - so I
wondered if it was
possible that the VARPG simply dropped the connection
because it timed out.

Also the VARPG "mechanics" for remote connections use DDM
- so I'm not sure
where the other socket is coming from.  Did the VARPG
program initiate it?

Hi, Jon.

From whatI understand a VARPG application calls GETURI to

communicate with a web service.  If GETURI times out then
the VARPG application seems to lose it's connection.
 That's really all I know at this point from the user.

I haven't used VARPG for a while, so I assume it was some
sort of PC client app written with VARPG and its connection
was severed somehow when GETURI failed to connect to the
server.
