title: HTTP Request from c# program, requiring no response
body: <p>I've done some socket work where I had to send a request because I wanted a response back, but I need to write something in C# that's just going to call an old web page which takes about 10 seconds to respond, and not wait for the response (the failures will flag up with DB calls).</p>
  
  <p>Is there a simple way to do this?</p>
