HttpWebRequest request time out vs operation time out

[Eric Cadwell]

Are there two distinct timeouts on HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()? If I recall
correctly, I've seen an "operation timed out" that was not the same as
request time out.

Thanks,
Eric

Yes, there is HttpWebRequest.Timeout and HttpWebRequest.ReadWriteTimeout.
The former applies to completing GetResponse() and GetRequestStream(), the
latter to completing reads and writes on network streams obtained by GetRequestStream()
or GetResponseStream().
