HttpWebRequest times out
c#, httpwebrequest, timeout
Solution
You need to set this.
const int maxIdleTimeout = 5000;
ServicePointManager.MaxServicePointIdleTime = maxIdleTimeout;
If you have more than one client making the request at any given time,
const int maxConnections = 100; //or more/less
ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit = maxConnections;

Problem
I have read the following 2 articles and have tried implementing the same. My code is this and the time out occurs here ``` HttpWebRequest wr = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url); wr.ContentType = "multipart/form-data; boundary=" + boundary; wr.Method = "POST"; wr.KeepAlive = false; wr.CookieContainer = cookieJar; wr.Proxy = null; wr.ServicePoint.ConnectionLeaseTimeout = 5000; Stream rs = wr.GetRequestStream(); // -> Time out error occurs here ``` Article I read ``` My code using that as a sample HttpWebRequest wr = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url); wr.ContentType = "multipart/form-data; boundary=" + boundary; wr.Method = "POST"; wr.KeepAlive = false; wr.CookieContainer = cookieJar; wr.Timeout = 5000; wr.Proxy = null; wr.ServicePoint.ConnectionLeaseTimeout = 5000; wr.ServicePoint.MaxIdleTime = 5000; Stream rs = wr.GetRequestStream(); //-->Time out error ``` Any clues would be helpful. At times I can get 1 request through and all other request fail or everything fails. Am posting to a HTTPS site. No issues when running with Fiddler UPDATE 1: I tried following zbugs ideas but that resulted in same issue. the first request goes through the subsequent ones fail. I am closing all response streams as well as calling abort on my request object.
