+Summary: Socket.Poll timeout fault in HttpWebResponse ctor
+
+Description of Problem:
+The System.Net.HttpWebResponse class internal constructor polls a socket
+with a timeout value passed as a parameter. The timeout value is measured
+in milliseconds when called from the HttpWebRequest.GetResponseInternal()
+method (HttpWebRequest only knows of milliseconds). This is then directly
+passed to the Socket.Poll() method which is expecting a timeout measured in
+microseconds. This caused a WebException (The request timed out) to be
+thrown from the constructor on the default timeout value (100'000) from
+HttpWebRequest (it's calculated to 0.1 seconds instead of 100 seconds).
+
+Units of timeouts are mentioned here as found on MSDN.
+
+Actual Results:
+WebException thrown.
+
+Expected Results:
+the Socket.Poll should not throw the exception - it should have plenty of
+time (100 seconds by default).
+
+How often does this happen? 
+It was kind of tricky to pin down as it doesn't happen all the time, it was
+more frequent on wlans for example.
