Problem with Windows Service and HttpWebRequest

[msnews.microsoft.com]

Hello everyone I was wondering if anyone has come across my problem? I
programmed a Windows Service that uses httpWebRequest and httpWebResponse in
VB.NET. Everything works fine until I use the webresponse object. What the
Windows Service does is when the timer in the windows service elapses, the
request to the website is made and a response is retrieve in a simple
myhttpWebrequest.GetResponse(). I don't even do anything with the response,
and close out of the response immediately. But the Windows Service then
creates a connection for each call for the website and causes the memory to
increase to 30 MB. When I use a netstat on the server, I see multiple http
connections due to this Windows Service. I tried to set the timeout on the
myhttpWebRequest but it does nothing. Is there a way to make the
application to disconnect after the connection and call to the website has
been made? Thanks.

Make sure you're calling Dispose on the response object when you're
done with it.

Thank you for replying. For some reason I do not get a
myhttpWebResponse.Dispose method, I only get the Close method. Would you
have any suggestios please? Thanks.
