WebClient: WebException "The underlying connection was closed"

Hello everybody!

I got a problem with a nearly undocumented (maybe-)bug in the
WebClient class. Anyways the problem is as follows:

When I try to work with the simple WebClient.Downl oadFile(URL)
function everything works fine as long as I download static
HTML-pages. As soon as I try to get the content of a remote ASP page
nothing works and I get a WebException as mentioned in the subject.

I tried the work-around with using the HttpWebResponse/Request classes
and setting HttpWebRequest. KeepAlive to "false" but it won't work.

I don't have a clue if this problem is really a problem but I tried
many independent ASP-pages but always the same problem. The problem is
that I MUST get somehow Response GET-Parameters from a ASP webpage
located at one of our partners pages, what acts as a interface to
their database. So if you got any ideas or other workarounds please
tell me. It took a lot of tears and coffee ^^

Kind Regards,
Jens Kreier

Hi!, I'm using WebRequest to post a URL. But, sometimes, this tell me the error "The underlying connection was closed: A connection that was expected to be kept alive was closed by the server.". I don't know why!!. This worked perfect in .NET 1.1, but in .NET 2.0, I has this behavior. Thanks!

I don't get the message so it's hard to debug that, but some of my clients report that they get "The underlying connection was closed unexpectedly" exception. According to this site (http:// www.dotnetspider.com/resources/2596-e-underlying-connection-was-closed-A-connection.aspx), it's a bug of .NET 2.0, and the author suggests that we use KeepAlive=false until Microsoft fixes it. It seems like almost 5 years have passes since the...
