Close() is always correct.

Flush() would only work when the client has requested keep-alives
   AND
when the server is able to deliver a correct Content-Lenght
   OR
the server uses Transport-Encoding: chunked.

AFAIK none of this conditions are implemented by
HttpSoapWebServiceHandler, so Close() seems to be the only
correct action.
