Web Page Launch to an IP Address

[IvanCodin]

I am launching a web page link. If the page address is avaliable the script runs successfully. If I cancel the web page while it's loading my script hangs. This only happens when I am using an IP address in the url.

This works:

$oIE = _IECreate()
    _IENavigate($oIE, "http://www.google.com")
    If @error Then
        MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to load page",4)

This works (If IIS is installed):

$oIE = _IECreate()
    _IENavigate($oIE, "http://127.1.1.1")
    If @error Then
        MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to load page",4)

This doesn't:

$oIE = _IECreate()
    _IENavigate($oIE, "http://192.168.1.1")
    If @error Then
        MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to load page",4)

The 127.x.x.x are considerd loopback addresses but work if IIS is installed on the computer running the script. Is there a way to detect the page was canceled and continue with the script.

Please be more explicit about "hangs". What happens specifically? If your script really does stop executing at some point, figure out exactly what line of code... suggest you use SciTe debug mode (see my sig).

My script uses OnEventMode. If I the launch the browser from my script:

$oIE = _IECreate()
    _IENavigate($oIE, "http://www.google.com")
    If @error Then
        MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to load page",4)

and then manually close the IE browser my script still runs but I am unable to continue. Can't press any buttons doesn't respond to keyboard input (except a HotKey exit). Buttons don't work and I close the script. I think it's waiting for a result from the page launch. How do I capture the IE paged was closed before it timed out?

I believe it could be more or less related to this. I explain how to work around in the case of Inet* functions, but I'm clueless for _IE*.
