Windows 7 prevent sleep not working as expected

Hello, I use UMS 5 on Windows 7 64bit. If Prevent windows from sleep is checked, the computer won't go to sleep at all. I expected this to prevent windows from sleep while streaming.
As a workaround, I disabled the feature and use coffee to prevent sleep while upload speed is at least 128k

Since nobody answered on this topic for one month, I fixed it myself. Now UMS prevents windows from sleeping only when streaming.
The problem was in the WinUtils class.
The fix only works when HTTP V2 is unchecked. If I have time, I will look in the HTTP V2 code.

Hi cristidb
Thanks very much for fixing this obvious limitation.
I'm not clear on whether you have committed this change and it's included in a new release, or you attached the file so we can rebuild ourselves.
Please could you clarify?
Thanks
Andy

The fix is not committed. I've only attached the modified class to this topic. Please review the fix and include it in the next build.
