Good god this has been bugging me for days. Thanks for documenting it. Close() completely sorts it out!

You're a genius... I searched that bloody close method in HttpWebRequest, but I did not look also into HttpWebResponse!
BTW, sometimes you get timeouts also because the server-side blocks TCP connection from the device. (Microsoft claims this is a tcpip.sys protection against DoS attacks... other people say it is an emule-rate-limiter!). You can download a patch for tcpip.sys to fix this.

Had the same problem, and your work-around saved me. Thanks a lot. It seems as if the underlying win32 socket is not closed properly otherwise. Cheers, Édouard
