If you look at the Consumer<T> interface, the accept method (which is what your method reference would effectively be using) isn't declared to throw any checked exceptions - therefore you can't use a method reference which is... more

It looks like your problem is in the checkurl method, which doesn't dispose of the WebResponse that it gets - that means the connection pool associated with that host has effectively "lost" that connection until the WebResponse gets... more

Do I actually need try.. catch in every method? No. In fact, it's harming your diagnostics by cutting off the stack trace - you won't be able to see the original full stack trace. You could fix that by just using: throw; instead... more

You have a property, which, when you execute the "get" accessor, finds all the properties and fetches their value. So it executes itself, recursively. If you only want string properties, you should check the property type before fetching... more
