Changing timeout value for http requests

I have a problem. It's probably Windows XP in general, but the issue made me
post it here. I have a problem with the timeout on a request to a server from
within a Adobe Flash projector. I haven't seen the problem on Windows 2000,
but in XP it seems have a barrier at 30 seconds.

The request takes 37 seconds. When the request is thrown from a Macintosh
projector it accepts a longer timeout, so i think it is something with the
way Flash connects to the internet through XP (or IE) specific.

Is there a way to control how long the system waits before giving up on a
request?

Thank you in advance

Hi to all of you.

Just to close this thread with valuable information, I found a solution to
the problem in the knowledgebase. See

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/181050/en-us

for information about setting ReceiveTimeout to a higher value in the
registry.
