HttpWebRequest.GetResponse freezes

Hi

HttpWebRequest.GetResponse newer returns if calling a nonexistent IP.

It frezes even if timeout's is lowered.

Per

StreamReader stream = null;

string result = string.Empty;

WebResponse webResponse = null;

try {

HttpWebRequest webReq = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://192.168.1.221/values.html");

//webReq.Timeout = 10000;

//webReq.ReadWriteTimeout = 500;

webResponse = webReq.GetResponse();// never returns

if (webResponse.ContentLength > 0) {

stream = new StreamReader(webResponse.GetResponseStream());

result = stream.ReadToEnd();

if (result != null && result.Length > 10) {

webReqFejl = false;

}

else {

webReqFejl = true;

}

//Debug.Print("Data fra pillefyr hentet");

}

else {

webReqFejl = true;

}

}

catch (Exception ex) {

webReqFejl = true;

#if DEBUG

Debug.Print(ex.Message);

#endif

}

finally {

if (stream != null) {

stream.Close();

}

if (webResponse != null) {

webResponse.Close();

}

}

return result;
