Close HttpWebRequest in C#

[KateWilliams]

Hi,

I am trying to close an HttpWebRequest I requested.

However, Close() could take a very long time to return.

Does anyone know why and how to solve this?

Is there a way I can set a timeout on the Close()?

Here's the code:

HttpWebRequest req

= (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(pageAddress);

req.Timeout=1000;

HttpWebResponse resp = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();

.

.

.

resp.Close();

thanks a lot!

You should use an asynchronous call for WebRequest/WebResponse calls. Most things in System.Net kill performance. I'll write up an example for you in a minute.

OK. I'm not sure that this will solve your close problem. I didn't write this. I've been too busy all night since I posted, so I figured I'd point you to a tutorial.

Also, you might want to consider integrating HTTPanties in there. :laugh:

Not very appropriate. So tell me, HB, are they comfortable? ;)
