Check response time with HTTPWebRequest?

Question

I\'m trying to find the performance of some of my proxies. I tried the Ping class in .net but it does not accept ports. Is there a way to check how long a response

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(myUri);
System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch timer = new Stopwatch();

timer.Start();

HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
response.Close ();

timer.Stop();

TimeSpan timeTaken = timer.Elapsed;
