You should be ok if you just call Close on your response. You are only allowed so many “open” connections, so the reason it is failing is because it can’t open a new connection. Once you are done with the response, you need to close it… no need to reuse anything. From the MSDN article: … Read more
The default HTTP method for WebRequest is GET. Try setting it to POST, as that’s what the API is expecting myReq.Method = “POST”; I assume you are posting something. As a test, I’m going to post the same data from their curl example. string url = “https://YOUR_COMPANY_HERE.beebole-apps.com/api”; string data = “{\”service\”:\”absence.list\”, \”company_id\”:3}”; WebRequest myReq = … Read more
Make a new default.aspx, and put this in the code behind: I cant test any further based on your current question, because you didn’t include a valid username/password. using System; using System.Web; using System.Net; using System.IO; using System.Web.UI; using System.Web.UI.WebControls; namespace Foo { public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page { protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs … Read more

For example, I believe that ASP.NET by default overrides the default to be 10 connections per remote host. From https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7af54za5.aspx: The number of connections between a client and server can have a dramatic impact on … Read more

My preferred way is this. It handles the escaping and parsing for you. WebClient webClient = new WebClient(); webClient.QueryString.Add(“param1”, “value1”); webClient.QueryString.Add(“param2”, “value2”); string result = webClient.DownloadString(“http://theurl.com”);
