I don't see ReadToEnd anywhere in the code that you posted. How are trying to call it?

Is there a reason that you don't just use Invoke-WebRequest?

Hi Swabha,

This occurs due to not having Exception Handling implemented there are possibly two exception can occur by which the operation has timed out i.e,

OutOfMemoryException
There is insufficient memory to allocate a buffer for the returned string.

IOException
An I/O error occurs.

I would recommend to go with following documentation and modify your script accordingly and implement Exception Handling:- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.streamreader.readtoend?view=net-6.0

I hope this help to resolve your issue, Accept Answer if found helpful.
