title: HttpWebRequest is very slow
body: <p>I am requesting a handler file from another handler file that returns an image, when I request my <code>HttpWebRequest</code> it takes more time to get the response. Here is my code, please help.</p>
  
  <pre><code>HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
  HttpCookie cookie = context.Request.Cookies["ASP.NET_SessionID"];
  Cookie myCookie = new Cookie(cookie.Name, cookie.Value);
  myCookie.Domain = url.Host;
  
  request.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
  request.CookieContainer.Add(myCookie);
  request.Timeout = 200000;
  HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
  responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
  </code></pre>
