HttpClient with infinite time out throws time out exception

Question

My HttpClient uses digest authentication to connect to the server and expects search queries in response. These search queries can come in any time so the client is expected to

Answer 1

I solved this problem in the following way:

var stream = await response.Content.ReadAsStreamAsync();
    while (b == 1)
    { 
        var bytes = new byte[1];
        try
        {
            var bytesread = await stream.ReadAsync(bytes, 0, 1);
            if (bytesread > 0)
            {
                text = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes);

                Console.WriteLine(text);
                using (System.IO.StreamWriter escritor = new System.IO.StreamWriter(@"C:\orden\ConSegu.txt", true))
                {
                    if (ctext == 100)
                    {
                        escritor.WriteLine(text);
                        ctext = 0;
                    }
                    escritor.Write(text);
                }
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("error");
            Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
        }
    }

in this way I get byte to byte the answer and I save it in a txt later I read the txt and I'm erasing it again. for the moment it is the solution I found to receive the notifications sent to me by the server from the persistent HTTP connection.
