[Mono-list] Bug in HttpWebRequest

[Nicholas Ruisi]

All,
I am attempting to use System.Net.HttpWebRequest, in the 0.30.2 release of
the runtime exactly as outlined in the following bug report and having the
exact same problem. The bug was reported back in October 2002.

http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=32004

As in the the reported bug, works beautifully on windows but my loop goes
through a few iterations in mono and just hangs on
HttpWebRequest.GetResponse().

I notice that it is RESOLVED FIXED, and there is a comment that says "fixed
in CVS". My question is has this fix been rolled into 0.30.2, or am I going
to have to build my runtime from source using the latest CVS snapshot?

Even if there isn't a fix out there for this, I'd be happy to try a
work-around. I already attempted tweaking the HTTP protocol versions,
Keep-Alives, etc. to no avail. I'd be hard pressed to figure out a way to
do what I need to do without multi-threading my app.

Any feedback is very welcome.
