WebClient: how to cancel a long running HTTP request?
问题 I'm using WebClient to make a request to an API that has a very long running process. But I don't actually need to know the result, I only need the process to be started. It doesn't matter to me if the process succeeds or fails. So I want to drop the connection as soon as I have made the request. How can I drop the webclient's connection? I don't want to wait 30 - 60 seconds for the response: var client = new WebClient(); string url = "http://example.com/SomeVeryLongRunningProcess/parameter";
