Why does the following code Timeout the second (and subsequent) time it is run? The code hangs at: using (Stream objStream = request.GetResponse().GetResponseStream()) and then causes a WebException saying that the request has timed out. I have tried this with a WebRequest and HttpWebRequest Edit: It seems the code is falling over in request.GetResponse() Edit: This post suggests it may be a GC issue --> http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=610043 - as per this post the issue is mitigated if Fiddler is open in the background. The server is there and available for requests. private string

I just got this exception (ProtocolViolationException) in my .NET 2.0 app (running on windows mobile 6 standard emulator). What confuses me is that as far as i know, I have not added any content body, unless I've inadvertently done it somehow. My code is below (very simple).

Background My application consists of a Winforms UI , a backend WCF service and a website to publish content to the UI and other consumers. To prevent the situation where the UI starts up and fails to work properly because of a missing WCF service or website being down I have added an app startup check to ensure that all everything is alive.

I'm trying to access restricted data on a website using WebClient / WebRequest . There is no official API in that website, so what I'm trying to do is simply fill the HTML form and post the values to the server, so I'm logged in. I tried this and this , but it doesn't look like the upcoming requests are logged in. The latter example is much more appealing since I obviously prefer WebClient , but legacy WebRequest will do.
