Help me understand something about HttpWebResponse

[jaydog0910]

Hi all

I have some something weird with the HttpWebResponse and I was hoping someone could help me understand what is going on.

This problem is already fixed but for my own curiosity I was hoping someone would be able to shed some light.

Here is a simplified version of the code:

string sHtmlFile = "http://localhost/test.html";
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(sHtmlFile);
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

The weirdness is that iis will file lock test.html if it is > 30kb but will not lock it if it is below 30kb. 30kb is a rough estimate i havent actually checked the bytes.

I know the solution is to add response.Close(); but i was hoping someone out there could speculate on how/why this would be happening.

It seems weird to me that it would lock a 35kb html file but not a 25kb html file

Thanks
Jay
