Unable to read data from the transport connection: The connection was closed error in console application

Question

I have this code in console application and it runs in a loop

 try
 {
      HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(search);
      request         


        

Answer 1

After adding

request.KeepAlive = false;
request.ProtocolVersion = HttpVersion.Version10; 

it works fine..

I found it form this blog post

Answer 2

I just tried the code, looping 10 times to load google.com and it worked for me. Is there something special about search - perhaps try replacing it with another uri. I did not include findForMatch - I assume it is not doing anything that would cause the exception.

Answer 3

Try disposing the reader in the finally block of your try catch
