HttpWebResponse

I have a multi thread HttpWebRequest and CanRead Open response stream working.

I am asked if this can be placed in a single response stream

Since I have to make multiple posts...no way out of it...

Is there ANY way I can channel all the different WebRequest responses into a single response stream?

    public class Test

        // Specify the URL to receive the request. 
        public static void Main (string[] args)
        {
            HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create (args[0]);

            // Set some reasonable limits on resources used by this request
            request.MaximumAutomaticRedirections = 4;
            request.MaximumResponseHeadersLength = 4;
            // Set credentials to use for this request.
            request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
            HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse ();

            Console.WriteLine ("Content length is {0}", response.ContentLength);
            Console.WriteLine ("Content type is {0}", response.ContentType);

            // Get the stream associated with the response.
            Stream receiveStream = response.GetResponseStream ();

            // Pipes the stream to a higher level stream reader with the required encoding format. 
            StreamReader readStream = new StreamReader (receiveStream, Encoding.UTF8);

            //Instead of console have one stream and keep on appending. By this way you could have one response which contains more response stream.
            Console.WriteLine ("Response stream received.");
            Console.WriteLine (readStream.ReadToEnd ());
            response.Close ();
            readStream.Close ();
        }
    }

EaswaranP,
I want to make sure I've stated this correctly

I need to make a series of posts in HTTP Web Request.

How do I do that (using your example) when I'm doing this in each thread right now...
I'm removing a bit of that header information...not needed)

Dim sendWebRequest As HttpWebRequest = CType(WebRequest.Create(stUrl), HttpWebRequest)

'Following items 
sendWebRequest.SendChunked = True
sendWebRequest.Method = "POST"
sendWebRequest.ContentType = "text/plain"
sendWebRequest.KeepAlive = True
sendWebRequest.UserAgent = "CometTest"
sendWebRequest.ServicePoint.ConnectionLimit = 20
sendWebRequest.Timeout = 43200
sendWebRequest.ReadWriteTimeout = System.Threading.Timeout.Infinite


Dim encodedData As New ASCIIEncoding()
Dim byteArray As Byte() = encodedData.GetBytes(sendRow)

sendWebRequest.ContentLength = byteArray.Length

Dim newStream As Stream = sendWebRequest.GetRequestStream()
newStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length)
newStream.Close()
