With the sample function below the program never returns from iDispose
WebResponse/StreamReader (TcpClient works fine):
public void GetStatusesFromStream(string username, string password,
int nMessageCount)
{
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://stream.twitter.com/
1/statuses/sample.json");
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
using (WebResponse response = request.GetResponse())
{
using (var stream = response.GetResponseStream())
{
using (var reader = new StreamReader(stream))
{
while (!reader.EndOfStream)
{
Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadLine());
if (nMessageCount-- < 0)
break;
}
Console.WriteLine("Start iDispose");
}
Console.WriteLine("Never gets here!!!");
}
}
Console.WriteLine("Done - press a key to exit");
Console.ReadLine();
}
I've raised the question at stackoverflow but with no solution so
far...
