  WebResponse closes xmlTextReader

  Nov 03, 2003 06:41 PM|LINK

  I was encountering a problem where my WebResponse would timeout on the 3rd request. After a little research(quite a bit actually) I found that this is a ServicePointManager default setting(2). To avoid the ServicePoint defaults the recommendation was to close the WebResponse which I wasn't doing. But now when I close the WebResponse my methods to receive the XmlReader from the WebResponse report that the "Request was aborted: Connection was closed unexpectedly" Below is my code:

  XmlTextReader oReader;
                  WebRequest objWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(URL); objWebRequest.ContentType="text/xml";
  	WebResponse objWebResponse = objWebRequest.GetResponse();
  	Stream oReceiveStream = objWebResponse.GetResponseStream();
  	StreamReader oReadStream = new StreamReader(oReceiveStream,System.Text.Encoding.ASCII);
  			
  
                  oReader = new XmlTextReader(oReadStream);
  	oReceiveStream.Flush();
  	oReader.WhitespaceHandling = WhitespaceHandling.None;
  	objWebResponse.Close();
                  return oReader;

  The error doesn't happen on every request. Looks like it's the second or third. Thanks in advance - gnome
