WebRequest Slow

[Trob70]

I am running a vb.net program (AS CLIENT) that needs to send a lot of sequential strings to a server

My program seems to send these request's reasonabally quickly

BUT

The server seems to take quite a while to actually receive the strings (They say they have a large number of channels open!!??)

Here is my code

'Post fields and files to an http host as multipart/form-data.
Dim byteArray As Byte() = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(fields)

Dim request As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create(host)
request.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential(username, password) 'CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
request.Proxy = Nothing
request.Method = "POST"


Appreciate any ideas, to improve the call

Regards Trob

I have done some research !!!!

Found this.....

My app downloads multiple files, and its limited to 2 connections. Now I've read you can change this, by adding the following in the app.config file:

1 <system.net>
2 <connectionManagement>
3 <add address="*" maxconnection="24" />
4 </connectionManagement>
5 </system.net>

I have added an 'item' app.config in the project and added the above into it.

???? am i slightly on the right track ???????????
