RE: duplicate calls to web service

["Kim Gibson" <kgibson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   Hi Mike,


   I did try timing the request with a browser, and didn't receive a
   response there, either. A phone call to the web service tech support
   people, and apparently the web service was down for a period of time
   this morning. All 33 requests made this morning would have waited 10
   minutes in vain for a response. But if the wait state doesn't take up
   any resources that shouldn't be a problem.


   It sounds as if I may have to figure out a way to resubmit the failed
   requests at another time of day, in the hopes of getting a response.


   Thanks,


   Kim
