I have a series of WebRequests in my app all formatted like this
Try
request.Timeout = 30000
' Get the response and read it to the end [HTML of a page]
[Code]....
After roughly 250 iterations of about 5-6 WebRequest per iteration, the app hangs and starts hitting the WebException "The remote name could not be resolved: 'hostnamehere' ". WebPages also don't load through my browser when this happens, I have to close the app for my internet to work again. This app is multithreaded and I was testing with 100 threads (in a threadpool, MaxThreadCount set to 20, addressof the sub which performs the WebRequests). A test with 20 threads yielded identical results - Same WebException also right around 250 iterations processing the same sub. I have tried setting the ConnectionLimit of the request to the thread count with no luck.
I am trying to use httpwebrequest but I keep getting a message that says "Create is not a member of webrequest" every time I try and use the msn example code.

Variable 'encoding' is used before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime.Variable 'tempcookies' is used before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime.
I am trying to implement the webrequest get and post methods. I am accessing a secure site that requires login authentication and was told that instead of sending a login request all the time; login to the site and capture the cookie and use this to send it in the header to get results from the page. In other words let us use google for example.
Lets say google required u to login before searching for something. Now I login through my browser and leave the site logged in. Now I send a httwebrequest from my program that includes the cookie authentication details in the request header and get results for say ?param=sports. Now when I increment the page number like &page=3, I am still only getting page 1 results. Here is some code:
[Code]...
I would like to search an online (internet) database and import the result in my own Windows program. As I understand from reading and searching I first have to do a get from the default (search) page to get the cookies for instance and then do a post providing the filled input fields and adding the previously collected cookies. So far getting the information seems to work but submitting the data back to get the actual search result doesn't seem to work. This is what I have so far: [code]Anybody that can point me in the right direction? I my assumption correct that I first have to do a Get and then Post the correct data back?
View 3 RepliesI think this is a simple question for you, but I don't understand other cases of webRequests, so I asked here: How can I make this webRequest asynchronous?
Dim sBuffer As String
Dim oRequest As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create(url)
oRequest.Method = "GET"
Dim oResponse As WebResponse = oRequest.GetResponse()
Dim oStream As New StreamReader(oResponse.GetResponseStream())

View 1 RepliesThe current version of my application was using the WebClient object to download files from the internet and all was working well until some users reported that they were getting server timeouts. I looked into this issue and decided to move to the WebRequest object as it allows me to specify a Timeout value. The problem is, when using it synchronously, if I specify a timeout value of -1, I am worried that in the event of some weird server anamoly, my application would hang as it would be waiting for a response that isn't coming. So then I thought of using the WebRequest ansynchronously.

I am still learning about Get / Post statements in VB, and wondering if you have to call the Get commands to images, and what not, or just the main Post / Get statement and the rest will auto-load?
View 1 RepliesI've got an problem with my GUI. My program has to request a couple of websites (POST) and then store the responses in local files.While requesting the sites, a GUI textbox (tbLog) should inform the user, what site actually is being requested and a "STOP" butten should enable the user to stop the whole process.Now, when I start work, the GUI freezes and the user cannot do anything until all websites are done. There is no update of tbLog.text at all and no stop button can be pressed.Me.Refresh() does not help, to.[code]

I have a loop with WebRequest objects which I declare every iteration. I thought it would be more efficient to declare them outside of the loop and only modify the one parameter that changed but it didn�t work. Why is that? It seems like the loop acts like a subroutine or other block that kills it�s objects at the end of each iteration. Is this the case? It seems other global objects like a text box can be modified this way so why not the WebRequest?

View 3 RepliesI am writing some rest calls to the LinkedIn API using web request and have hit an encoding issue.The LinkedIn API takes requires an encoded URI as one of the parameters on the lookup i am trying to run.
We are calling the api through .Net's WebRequest.Create; and when we pass in the URI it decodes it and as a result we can't get the data from the call. Im trying to open a URI like this[URL]..Is there a mechanism in the webrequest class to stop it decoding the passed in URI; or a work around for this?

I am trying to "behind the scenes" log myself into a website, from the VB code behind my ASP.NET website. But I am dumbfounded as to how to do this.

I want to click a button on my website and have its Click event send a username and password to another website. This other site isot affiliated with mine. I realize the concept may seem stupid, but I plan on taking this further later, but Just need to know this now.

View 1 RepliesI have a web request that can take 30-90 seconds to complete in some cases(most of the time it completed in 2-3). Currently, the software looks like it has hung if the request takes this long. I was thinking that I could use background worker to process the webrequest in a separate thread. However, The software must wait on the request to process before continuing. I know how to setup the background worker. What I am unsure about is how to handle waiting on the request to process.Do I need to create a timer to check for the results until the request times out or is processed?
View 1 RepliesLooking for the best way to determine if a URI exists in VB.NET without downloading the actual content. System.IO.FileExists/My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists can be used locally to determine if a file exists, is there an equivalent for the Web?
Currently I am using a HttpWebRequest to check URI existance using the ResponseStream. This populates the stream if the target does exist and throws an exception if it doesn't. The function is being expanded to also check for PDF files (typically 5MB +), images, etc and it will be a waste of time/bandwidth to actually populate the content into a stream.
In the case of "Success" (the target does exist) I do not wish to download the file or page, simply to end up with a Boolean which indicates the whether something exists at the end of this URI.
I have about 1000 webrequest created. Each link will navigate to a website and download a picture to place into a picturebox.
The person will then type in what animal is in the picture into a textbox. Then the user will then hit the submit button to send the name of the animal back to the site.
I am going to implement the use of a thread pool to handle the threading portion of those requests.
What is the best method to get my webrequest into the thread pool (listbox, txt file,etc?) and then how can I setup my button to coordniate with the site that is coming out of the pool to the picture box?
My first thought is to create everything on the fly. The picturebox, the textbox, and the submit button, the webrequest to the site for the picture and back again for the result. Something tells me that I will be taking the long way around to get same result.
My second thought is to have a slew of pictureboxes, textboxes, and buttons already on my screen and then when they come out of the pool and into a thread they would assigned a picturebox, textbox, and button if the others are not busy.
I want to pass a string containing name/ value pairs to a url via webrequest. How would I build a string with name/value pairs?
