do httpwebrequest but without waiting for response

Question

Here i do not want to wait for response from server because i do not care about response for these httpwebrequest.

is it ok? or will it affect system in future?

HttpWebRequest PostRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(PostUrl);
        PostRequest.ContentType = PostContentType;
        PostRequest.Method = "POST";
        byte[] bytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(DataUrl);            
        try
        {
            PostRequest.ContentLength = bytes.Length;
            using (Stream webpageStream = PostRequest.GetRequestStream())
            {
                webpageStream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            //
        }

Thanks

You can call asynchronous BeginGetRequestStream() and then handle response data when it completes. If you don't need response data, then you can just ignore it, but you might be interested in obtaining a response status code to check if your request succeeded.

Close is not needed as the using will handle that part. – Justin Pihony Apr 16 '15 at 18:40

yest the befor this answer is so true , remove this codes:

var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

var responseString = new SreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd();

and add the flowing code on using stream like this after stream.write:

stream.Flush();
stream.Close();

do httpwebrequest but without waiting for response
