title: Does Operation Timed out exception in httpWebRequest.GetResponse() method close the connection
body: <p>My question might be silly, but need an answer.  As far as I know whenever "<strong>The Operation has timed out</strong>" exception occurs in <code>HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()</code> method than connection is closed and released.  If it is not true than how does it work?  I tried to google this but couldn't get the answer.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> In this case it was a post request, connection was established and the URL which called was processing the request at server end, but HttpWebRequest Object was waiting on response and after sometime exception occurred.</p>
