Question

I m using WebClient to make a request to an API that has a very long running process. But I don t actually need to know the result, I only need the process to be started.

It doesn t matter to me if the process succeeds or fails. So I want to drop the connection as soon as I have made the request.

我怎么能够放弃网络联系? 我不想等待30至60秒的答复:

var client = new WebClient();
string url = "http://example.com/SomeVeryLongRunningProcess/parameter";
client.BeginDownloadString(uri);
client.DropConnection; // how do I drop the connection before the response is received?

Answer 1

CancelAsync(。

Answer 2

I suggest you to use DownloadProgressChanged event instead => you will be sure the server received your request and started to treat it.

Warning: you also need to update your server code to start returning information (HTTP headers or some text) as soon as it starts the process if this is not the case. If not, DownloadProgressChanged will start receiving information only when process is done.
