Asynchronous webrequest taking 100 % CPU usage

[archana]

Hi all
i am having application which is using asychronous web request.

At a time i am processing 5 urls asynchronously.

Application working properly for 5 asynchronous call. But sometimes CPU
usage suddently increases to 100 %.

Can some one tell me why this is happening.

Any help will be truely appreciated.

thanks in advance.

Hi Archana,

Web Requests are allways synchronous.

This may be a bit a shocking answer but remember that the http protocol
allways need a response 200 Ok or some kind or error.
So lets say you use Javascript to do a post towards a webservice using the
asynch switch. Although your code will continue to run untill the event
requestcomplete (or something like that) hits.

The line towards the webserver will remain open.

If you really want to be asynchronous using the web start the server side
processes in seperate treads. I think IE is looping through it's open
connections increasing the CPU load to 100% This is when I found out the
lines remained open :-)

Hope this helped.

Kind regards,

Hi

thanks for your reply.

I am using webrequest class sychronously. And i have C# desktop based
application. Not using any server side scripting. In MSDN , one
example is giving for making asynchronous request. That i am using
which is taking lots of cpu usage if i increase asynchronous request
from 1 to 5 request.

I hope you will get my problem.

Thanks

You're confusing asynchronous I/O with connection-oriented protocols.
HTTP isn't synchronous. Nor is it asynchronous. The term just doesn't
apply here.

Post your code, otherwise it's all just guessing.

Hi

i am posting code of processing url asynchronously.

using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Threadin g;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;

// The RequestState class passes data across async calls.
public class RequestState
{
const int BufferSize = 1024;
public StringBuilder RequestData;
public byte[] BufferRead;
public WebRequest Request;
public Stream ResponseStream;
// Create Decoder for appropriate enconding type.
public Decoder StreamDecode = Encoding.UTF8.G etDecoder();

public RequestState()

BufferRead = new byte[BufferSize];
RequestData = new StringBuilder(S tring.Empty);
Request = null;
ResponseStream = null;
}

if (args.Length < 1)

showusage();
return;

// Get the URI from the command line.
Uri httpSite = new Uri(args[0]);

WebRequest wreq = WebRequest.Crea te(httpSite);

// Put the request into the state object so it can be passed
around.
rs.Request = wreq;

if (read > 0)
{
// Prepare a Char array buffer for converting to Unicode.

// Convert byte stream to Char array and then to String.
// len contains the number of characters converted to Unicode.

rs.StreamDecode .GetChars(rs.Bu fferRead, 0, read, charBuffer,
0);

String str = new String(charBuff er, 0, len);

// Append the recently read data to the RequestData
stringbuilder
// object contained in RequestState.
rs.RequestData. Append(
Encoding.ASCII. GetString(rs.Bu fferRead, 0, read));

// Continue reading data until
// responseStream. EndRead returns -1.
IAsyncResult ar = responseStream. BeginRead(
rs.BufferRead, 0, BUFFER_SIZE,
new AsyncCallback(R eadCallBack), rs);
}
else
{
if(rs.RequestDa ta.Length>0)
{
// Display data to the console.
string strContent;
strContent = rs.RequestData. ToString();
}
// Close down the response stream.
responseStream. Close();
// Set the ManualResetEven t so the main thread can exit.
allDone.Set();
}
return;
}
}
Only thing is in main instead of processing one url i have one array
containing urls and i am starting processing of url at the same time.

thanks.
