Remarks

The HttpWebResponse.Close method closes the response stream and releases the connection to the Internet resource for reuse by other requests.

Note:

Call either the System.IO.Stream.Close or HttpWebResponse.Close method to close the stream and release the connection for reuse. It is not necessary to call both System.IO.Stream.Close and HttpWebResponse.Close , but doing so does not cause an error. Failure to close the stream might cause an application to run out of connections.

This method overrides WebResponse.Close.
