I have a problem with sockets, I send an http request but the server receive this request three times (from logs of server)...I'm sure that from my code the request is executed only once (from logs of my app). I considered to send the http request via browser and then intercept the response from browser. There is any way to do this?

You should post your Http code. There is no reason for the request to be sent three times.

It's a normal http request:

In main module:

Sub Process_Globals
Dim Client As HttpClient
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
If FirstTime Then
     Client.Initialize("Client")
End If
End Sub

Sub ButtonRequest_Click
GlobalModule.ExecuteRemoteQuery(query,2) 'query is a string with the script php and other parameters like "myscript.php?cmd= ..."
End Sub

In global module

Sub ExecuteRemoteQuery(Query As String, TaskId As Int)
Dim Request As HttpRequest
Request.InitializeGet(serverAddress & Query)
Main.Client.Execute(Request,TaskId)
End Sub

Sorry, in the first post I forgot to say you that this happens when the server doesn't respond for some seconds (when it is overloaded). It is as if the socket automatically resend the request.

Http GET methods are treated as idempotent requests. This means that HttpClient is allowed to retry to send the request if there was an error.

Can't you switch to POST request (as in the MySQL example)?

I switched to Post request, and now it seems to work... Thanks Erel!!
