Hi all: I'm maintaining a system written in VFP9 SP2 that posts a great number of HTTPGet calls against a Web App Server. It all worked fine until Win10 appears (Client side). Now, I'm unable to get this calls respond correctly (it's almost instant response with failure).

I'm not using a proxy server in my network, and the exact call made in a web browser (from the same client) functions perfectly well.

I'm executing the application in administrator mode and I have switched between all "compatibility" modes.

Thank you in advance.

Can you show some of the code which works on earlier Windows versions? And what error message do you get?

Thanks for your advice. I`ve written a small piece of code that requests to a web server for some data, avoiding the complexity of the big system and it worked fine, so I have to search inside the code more profoundly. Thank you

It's possible that your firewall or Anti-Virus software is blocking the requests. Normally when an application tries to access the Internet or is receiving incoming requests when not running as an admin, a firewall warning pops up.

IAC, you might want to try to execute your application with the firewall AV temporarily turned off to see if that's the problem. Note that running in VFP IDE and running your EXE are two separate applications with different potential access rules.
