Koneksi tidak habis saat mengunduh file dari internet

Terkait dengan postingan saya ( Cara mengambil file dari Internet melalui HTTP? ) tentang cara mengunduh file dengan mudah dan kuat dari Internet, saya telah menemukan solusi yang mungkin - namun tidak berfungsi sebagaimana mestinya.

Menurut dokumentasi MS, kode di bawah ini seharusnya habis pada 500 ms setelah saya memutuskan sambungan dari internet. Namun, sepertinya pengaturan 'INTERNET_OPTION_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT' sepenuhnya diabaikan. Aplikasi macet saat diunduh. Dibutuhkan sekitar 20-30 untuk fungsi ini untuk menyadari bahwa koneksi Internet sedang down dan mengembalikan kontrol ke GUI.

Ada yang tahu kenapa?

function GetBinFileHTTP (const aUrl: string; const pStream: TStream; wTimeOut: Word= 500; wSleep: Word= 500; wAttempts: Word= 10): Integer;
CONST
  BufferSize = 1024;
VAR
  hSession, hService: HINTERNET;
  Buffer     : array[0..BufferSize-1] of Char;
  dwBytesRead, dwBytesAvail: DWORD;
  lSucc        : LongBool;
  lRetries, dwTimeOut: Integer;   
begin
 Result:= 0;
 if NOT IsConnectedToInternet then
  begin
   Result:= -1;
   EXIT;
  end;

 hSession := InternetOpen(PChar(ExtractFileName(Application.ExeName)), INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG, nil, nil, 0);  { The INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG flag specifies that if the user has configured Internet Explorer to use a proxy server, WinInet will use it as well. }
 if NOT Assigned(hSession) then
  begin
   Result:= -4;
   EXIT;
  end;

 TRY
   hService := InternetOpenUrl(hSession, PChar(aUrl), nil, 0, INTERNET_FLAG_RELOAD, 0);
   if NOT Assigned(hService) then Exit;
   TRY
     FillChar(Buffer, SizeOf(Buffer), 0);

     { Set time out }
     dwTimeOut:= wTimeOut;
     InternetSetOption(hService, INTERNET_OPTION_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT, @dwTimeOut, SizeOf(dwTimeOut));   { use INTERNET_FLAG_RELOAD instead of NIL to redownload the file instead of using the cache }


     InternetSetOption(hService, INTERNET_OPTION_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, @dwTimeOut, SizeOf(dwTimeOut));

     REPEAT
       lRetries := 0;

       REPEAT
         lSucc:= InternetQueryDataAvailable( hService, dwBytesAvail, 0, 0);
         if NOT lSucc
         then Sleep( wSleep );
         if lRetries > wAttempts
         then Result:= -2;
       UNTIL lSucc OR (Result= -2);

       if NOT InternetReadFile(hService, @Buffer, BufferSize, dwBytesRead) then
        begin
          Result:= -3;                                                          { Error: File not found/File cannot be downloaded }
          EXIT;
        end;

       if dwBytesRead = 0
       then Break;

       pStream.WriteBuffer(Buffer[0], dwBytesRead);

     UNTIL False;
   FINALLY
     InternetCloseHandle(hService);
   end;
 FINALLY
   InternetCloseHandle(hSession);
 end;

 Result:= 1;
end;

Berikut dokumentasinya:

{

INTERNET_OPTION_CONNECT_TIMEOUT         Sets or retrieves an unsigned long integer value that contains the time-out value to use for Internet connection requests. If a connection request takes longer than this time-out value, the request is canceled. When attempting to connect to multiple IP addresses for a single host (a multihome host), the timeout limit is cumulative for all of the IP addresses. This option can be used on any HINTERNET handle, including a NULL handle. It is used by InternetQueryOption  and InternetSetOption.
INTERNET_OPTION_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT         Sets or retrieves an unsigned long integer value that contains the time-out value to receive a response to a request.      If the response takes longer than this time-out value, the request is canceled. This option can be used on any HINTERNET handle, including a NULL handle. It is used by InternetQueryOption and InternetSetOption. For using WinInet synchronously, only the default value for this flag can be changed by calling InternetSetOption and passing NULL in the hInternet parameter.
                  INTERNET_OPTION_CONTROL_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT - Identical to INTERNET_OPTION_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT. This is used by InternetQueryOption and InternetSetOption.

Sunting: Saya memutuskan sambungan Internet dengan mencabut kabel atau (untuk nirkabel) dari perangkat lunak SETELAH aplikasi mulai mengunduh (saya memilih untuk mengunduh file besar). Ini mensimulasikan situs web offline.
