server down error status.

Hi all,

I am observing some peculiar behaviour in my program using libwww. When my 
web server is running, but the URL is not available, I can catch that error 
through ((HTAnchor_header(HTRequest_anchor(request))==NULL).

But, when the web server is not running at all, and I try to POST to a URL, 
then the status returned from status = HTPostAnchor(src, dst, request) is 1 
and libww goes into the following loop infinitely.
if (status == YES)
{
HTEventList_loop(request);
}

Whats the best way to catch this error?

Thanks and regards,
Tanmay
