WebClient and lingering issue

Archive

I’m using the WebClient in Gadgeteer to do some http requests. For the most part it works fine, however in some cases I believe I’m running into the “lingering” issue I’ve read about on the forums. However, all the examples are pure Socket based and I’m trying to keep this as abtract as possible (meaning, within the sphere of Gadgeteer).

Is there anyway to muck around with that lingering stuff in or easily around a WebClient?

Thanks,

Mr. Bildo

I think architect showed us some code to tap into the HTTP code and change the linger option long time ago. Are you there FEZ King?

Thank you, gentlemen!
