Consider the following scenario. In the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, you use the
BeginGetRequestStream method and the
EndGetRequestStream method in the
HttpWebRequest class to complete an asynchronous HTTP request. In this scenario, when you try to access the
Stream object that is returned by the
EndGetRequestStream method, you receive a
System.ObjectDisposedException exception.
Note This problem only occurs if you set the
Method property in the
HttpWebRequest class to a protocol property that uploads data. For example, you set the
Method property to
POST.
This problem occurs when the Web server resets or closes the connection after the client application sends the HTTP header. The
HttpWebRequest class automatically tries to reopen a connection to the Web server to complete the transfer. When the transfer is successful, the
EndGetRequestStream method incorrectly returns the
Stream object from the first failed connection attempt, instead of the
Stream object from the successful connection attempt. When the client application tries to use this disposed
Stream object, a
System.ObjectDisposedException exception is thrown.
