[Unstable code] So you think you are safe...

There is some interesting discussion on my previous post about unstable code.

I thought that it would be good to give a concrete example of the issue. Given the following interface & client code, is there a way to make this code block for a long time?

[ServiceContract]
public interface IFoo
{
	[OperationContract]
	string GetMessage();
}

var stopwatch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
var channel = ChannelFactory<IFoo>.CreateChannel(
	new BasicHttpBinding
	{
		SendTimeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1), 
		ReceiveTimeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1),
		OpenTimeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1),
                CloseTimeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1)
	},
	new EndpointAddress("http://localhost:6547/bar"));

var message = channel.GetMessage();

stopwatch.Stop();
Console.WriteLine("Got message in {0}ms", stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds);

You are free to play around with the server implementation as well as the network topology.

Have fun....
