Thanks for the share mate.
Here before someone picks apart your code.

Yep surprised 0xdeaddead hasn’t picked it like a booger yet

Cool release if someone is looking to create a handle checker. Though any particular reason for using an SSLStream rather than plain old http request?

Yes. Most of the big services will throw a 302 your way to redirect to https and therefore does not reveal much interesting data

What do you expect from a programming section? Is it weird for people to comment on your code and think critically? You seem surprised by it, yet that's kind of the point of a forum, to stir up discussion. Yet you seem to not want any of that every time you post and some people comment on it. 🤨
On the source code you posted: care to elaborate by the way why you chose to manually construct an HTTP request by manually setting up an SSL stream? Why not just use the built in features of .NET to handle all that for you?

Also to answer your question; because anything I don’t need from webrequest or webclient is wasted resources
