HttpWebRequest needs to wait 5 seconds to work properly in PUT method

Question

I am trying to use an API and I don't have any problems with GET and POST but PUT isn't working. I tried with a lot of different examples and finally by chance I discovered that waiting more that 5 seconds (with 5000ms it is not working and with 5100ms it does)
it starts working properly. But why is that happening? And how can I avoid this? 5 seconds for each registry update is to much waiting and I really don't understand why POST works well without waiting and PUT needs 5 seconds to work.
Here I put the method that I am using with the Thread.Sleep(5100).
As I said without this line when I make WebResponse
response = request.GetResponse(); gives me an error.
public void call(string url, object jsonObj)
try
// Create a request using a URL that can receive a post.
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest) HttpWebRequest.Create(urlSplio);
// Create POST data and convert it to a byte array.
request.Method = "PUT";
// Set the ContentType property of the WebRequest.
request.ContentType = "application/json";
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["User"], "WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Key"]");
string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(jsonObj);
byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(json);
// Set the ContentLength property of the WebRequest.
request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
// Get the request stream.
Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream();
// Write the data to the request stream.
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
// Close the Stream object.
dataStream.Close();
Thread.Sleep(5100);
// Get the response.
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
// Display the status.
Console.WriteLine(((HttpWebResponse)response).StatusDescription);
// Get the stream containing content returned by the server.
dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
// Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
// Read the content.
string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();
// Display the content.
Console.WriteLine(responseFromServer);
// Clean up the streams.
dataStream.Close();
response.Close();
catch (Exception ex)

Perhaps there are some artificial delays, such as Thread.Sleep(5000), accidentally left in the provider’s code for testing purposes.
In some of technologies, the server functions should have certain special attributes, such as [WebInvoke(Method = "PUT")]. Check if this is the case, with providers.
