Guys Thank, genuinely, for the responses, I've learned how I *could* set a timeout, which I didn't know before. However, what I'm actually trying to get to the bottom of is what timeout could be in play *without* me setting it. As I said, the connection is already timing out and I don't want it to. Basically, I can hit the URL in question in a browser and, after a few second, get a response. When that piece of code hits the same URL, the Read timeout exception is thrown. So, it seems to me that the code isn't waiting long enough for the response to arrive, so something seems to be governing how long it waits. As we've established, it's not something that I've done in the code, so what is the timeout based on? Shouldn't the socket wait indefinitely for a response if nothing set a finite timeout length?
This is code in an already release product so if I can track down an environment setting that's governing the timeout then I can just adjust that setting for the one customer with the problem rather than having to patch the code and release it to everyone.
