Hi
I am using the httpwebrequest object in C# (.NET FW 3.5SP1) to get the data from a webserver. When the webser is not alive, the httpWebResponse .GetResponse throws the time out exception at around 20 secs, even if I am setting my time out to 30 secs. Even if I don't set any time out, it returns back in 20 secs. Whats the deal with 20 secs and how can I change it? I have gone thru a lot of posts in forums, no breakthru yet. Please help....
