SendHttpRequest

I made a little console application using .NET 1.1, that sends a request to an address given as parameter. It is to be used to simulate traffic on a web site. Probably could use some refinement of the code (just consider it my alpha, and that there will be no beta, RTM, etc.).

using System;
using System.Web;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;

namespace SendHttpRequest
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Summary description for Class1.
    /// </summary>
    class EntryPoint
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// The main entry point for the application.
        /// </summary>
        [STAThread]
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            if(args.Length > 0)
            {
                string url = args[0];

                Uri uri = null;
                try
                {
                    uri = new Uri(url);
                }
                catch
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Invalid URL. No request sent.");
                    return;
                }

                WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(uri);
                request.Method = "GET";

                WebResponse response = null;
                try
                {
                    response = request.GetResponse();
                    StreamReader rdr = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
                    string content = rdr.ReadToEnd();
                    Console.WriteLine(content);
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {   
                    Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
                    return;
                }
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Usage: SendHttpRequest {url}");
            }
        }
    }
}
