Hi Dod I understand the point you are making. I intended to use the HTTPCli component as part of an existing application which already uses threads. The threads need to test response from websites as part of the other activities they carry out - this is why this approach seemed most natural to me, within the context of an existing application, although I appreciate if were starting from afresh there could be better approaches!
Thank you for taking the time to respond.
