You probably want to move allDone.Set() outside the try..catch. Otherwise the event will never be set if there's an exception and the thread that started the async operation will hang. That is, you want to write:

try
{
    request = (HttpWebRequest)asynchronousResult.AsyncState;
    response = (HttpWebResponse)request.EndGetResponse(asynchronousResult);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    Debug.WriteLine("Got Exception in GetResponseCallback: " + e.Message);
}

allDone.Set();
