Request has timed

[laks]

Hi all

I have the following piece of code for retrieving some info from an
external url. I receive an error - "The operation has timed-out" at
GetResponse() line. I have tried extending the time out duration. I
dont have any SETI etc on my computer. Anything wrong in code? how can
i resolve my issue?

Any insight highly appreciated..
thanks

strXmlRequest = "Something in xml";

XmlDocument xmlDoc;
xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.LoadXml( strXmlRequest);

// Create an HTTP request to do a POST
System.Net.Http WebRequest xmlHttpRequest = (HttpWebRequest )
WebRequest.Crea te("http://www.somesite.co m/ExtInterface/ListingSearch.a sp");
xmlHttpRequest. Method="POST";

// Write the serialized XML to the request.
XmlTextWriter xmlWriter = new
XmlTextWriter(x mlHttpRequest.G etRequestStream (),
Encoding.GetEnc oding("UTF-8"));
xmlDoc.WriteTo( xmlWriter);

// Force the XML text writer to finish
xmlWriter.Flush ();

// Get the response from the server
System.Net.Http WebResponse xmlHttpResponse = (HttpWebRespons e)
xmlHttpRequest. GetResponse();

// Parse the response into a new XmlDocument and return it.
XmlDocument respDoc = new XmlDocument();
respDoc.Load(xm lHttpResponse.G etResponseStrea m());
xmlHttpResponse .Close();

Have you verified that the external site you are going to actually returns a
page?

I would first simplify the code:

1) Create Request
2) Open
3) Response.Write( result)

You can through come try/catches also in there around the Get, then walk
through the code in debug so you can look closer at the Exceptions that are
thrown.

Insert line xmlWriter.Close () after xmlWriter.Flush (); and it works
fine.
