Send POST HttpWebRequest and don't need to receive response

I send a POST request by this way:

HttpWebResponse res = null;
HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url);
req.Method = "POST";
req.CookieContainer = cookieContainer;
req.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; de; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3";
req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
ASCIIEncoding encoding = new ASCIIEncoding();
byte[] loginDataBytes = encoding.GetBytes(requestCommand);
req.ContentLength = loginDataBytes.Length;
Stream stream = req.GetRequestStream();
stream.Write(loginDataBytes, 0, loginDataBytes.Length);
stream.Close();
//line below is my way to send request, but it return a response.
res = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();

I just want to send request to WebServer and I don't want to receive reponse. It wastes time and bandwidth. Are there anyway to do that?

Thank you very much!

No, there's no way. The HTTP protocol is two way. It is a request/response protocol. You need to call the GetResponse method if you want to send the request that you prepared earlier.
