 request.MaximumResponseHeadersLength = 4

 request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
 
 Dim response As HttpWebResponse = CType(request.GetResponse(),  HttpWebResponse)

 ' Get the stream associated with the response.
 Dim receiveStream As Stream = response.GetResponseStream()

 Dim readStream As New StreamReader(receiveStream, Encoding.UTF8)
 
 Console.WriteLine(readStream.ReadToEnd())
 
 response.Close()
 
 readStream.Close()

...
