POWebRequest/WebResponse Memory leak
text
Body
copied!<p>I have an .Net Framework #4.0 application that makes a large number of web requests using the WebRequest/WebResponse classes , as i see it has memory leak (or maybe i am doing something wrong) I Wrote some small simple application that demonstrates this:</p> <pre><code>class Program { public static void Main(string[] args) { while(true) { var webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.gooogle.com"); Init(webRequest); using (var webResponse = (HttpWebResponse)webRequest.GetResponse()) { var responseStream = webResponse.GetResponseStream(); responseStream.ReadTimeout = 30; var streamReader = new StreamReader(responseStream, Encoding.UTF8); var page = streamReader.ReadToEnd(); streamReader.Close(); streamReader.Dispose(); responseStream.Close(); responseStream.Dispose(); webResponse.Close(); Console.WriteLine("Done"); //GC.Collect(); } } } private static void Init (HttpWebRequest webRequest) { webRequest.Method = "GET"; webRequest.Host = "www.gooogle.com"; webRequest.UserAgent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; GTB6.5; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; OfficeLiveConnector.1.4; OfficeLivePatch.1.3; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; InfoPath.3) chromeframe/5.0.375.62"; webRequest.Accept = "application/x-ms-application, image/jpeg, application/xaml+xml, image/gif, image/pjpeg, application/x-ms-xbap, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/msword, */*"; webRequest.KeepAlive = true; } } </code></pre> <p>The only one solution i came up with is use GC.Collect() (unmarked in example) , All the object are disposed , all streams are closed , am I missing something ?</p> <p>I found something but i don't understand the reason , if i minimize Console the memory usage decreases and looks O.K , what can be the reason for that is there a problem with Conosole or WinForm , how can i fix it ? </p>
