webresponse

I am trying to use the .NET WebRequest/WebResponse classes to access the Twitter streaming API here "http://stream.twitter.com/spritzer.json" . I need to be able to open the connection and read data incrementally from the open connection. Currently, when I call WebRequest.GetResponse method, it blocks until the entire response is downloaded. I know there is a BeginGetResponse method, but this will just do the same thing on a background thread. I need to get access to the response stream while the download is still happening. This just does not seem possible to me with these classes. There is a

I am writing a program that will submit a XML to a website. The code written works fine, but sometimes it just stops working for some reason, throwing a System.Net.ProtocolViolationException. I can close the program and re-run - it starts working again just fine. Here is the code that I am using: private string Summit(string xml) { string result = string.Empty; StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); try { WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(this.targetUrl); request.Timeout = 800 * 1000; RequestState requestState = new RequestState(xml); requestState.Request = request; request.ContentType =

I have finally started messing around with creating some apps that work with RESTful web interfaces, however, I am concerned that I am hammering their servers every time I hit F5 to run a series of tests..

However, I don't see how I can "mock" a WebResponse, since (AFAIK) they can only be instantiated by WebRequest.GetResponse How do you guys go about mocking this sort of

When writing the below my code locks up on GetResponse. Why? try { WebRequest myWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(strURL); WebResponse myWebResponse = myWebRequest.GetResponse(); //more code here This usually happens if you've made several requests to the same host, and not disposed of the WebResponse . The default connection management settings only allow 2 (or maybe 4, I can't remember) open connections to the same host at a time. If you really need to change this, use the <connectionManagement> app.config element - but usually you'll be fine just disposing of WebResponse : try { WebRequest
