I've set HttpWebRequest time out like following way.

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(ImageUrl);
 request.Method = "HEAD";
 request.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
 request.Accept = "*/*";
 request.Proxy.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

bool exist = false;
try{
    //request.ReadWriteTimeout = 1000;
    request.Timeout = 1000;
    request.GetResponse();
    exist = true;
}
catch{
   //
}
<pre>

Whenever a request is made on ImageUrl which is not exist, it takes too much time to get request response. It's taking too much time for ImageUrls which starts with Https://

What I have tried:

I've tried above code but not getting request timeout.

Is the code right or wrong? when a request made for ImageUrl on which image is not exist, it takes morethan 2seconds to get response of the request.

You have to set Request Timeout in your web.config file
for example

XML

<system.web>
    <httpRuntime executionTimeout="160" />
</system.web>

Solution 2

you can set the Timeout property of your request object.

C#

request.Timeout = 3000

note: the value is in milliseconds.
