WININET_E_OPTION_NOT_SETTABLE

WININET_E_OPTION_NOT_SETTABLE is a WinINet HRESULT. It means that the requested option is read-only, is not applicable to the selected handle, or can be configured only before the relevant connection or request is created.

What to check for WININET_E_OPTION_NOT_SETTABLE

Determine whether the option is intended to be queried rather than changed.
Apply connection-wide settings to the appropriate parent handle before creating dependent requests.
Do not ignore the failure and assume a security, proxy or timeout setting took effect.
