HttpWebRequest times out on second call

Question

Why does the following code Timeout the second (and subsequent) time it is run?

The code hangs at:

using (Stream objStream = request.GetResponse().Ge         


        

Answer 1

ran into the same problem with timeouts on subsequent requests to the server despite disposing/flushing/closing everything properly. try flushing your connection group, worked for me:

myRequest.ServicePoint.CloseConnectionGroup(myRequest.ConnectionGroupName);

also, ensure you're not inadvertently creating other HttpWebRequest/Request objects elsewhere in your application that aren't being properly terminated/disposed, as this will increase the numbers of connections in the Service Point.
