A cleaner alternative would be to use a Dictionary to handle parameters. They are key-value pairs after all. private static readonly HttpClient httpclient; static MyClassName() { // HttpClient is intended to be instantiated once and re-used throughout the life of an application. // Instantiating an HttpClient class for every request will exhaust the number of … Read more
HttpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders (and BaseAddress) should only be set once, before you make any requests. HttpClient is only safe to use as a singleton if you don’t modify it once it’s in use. Rather than setting DefaultRequestHeaders, set the headers on each HttpRequestMessage you are sending. var request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, url); request.Headers.Accept.Clear(); request.Headers.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue(“application/json”)); request.Headers.Authorization = … Read more
You need to install Microsoft.Extensions.Http from NuGet
First you have to set the Authorization-Header with your <clientid> and <clientsecret>. Instead of using StringContent you should use FormUrlEncodedContent as shown below: var client = new HttpClient(); client.BaseAddress = new Uri(“http://myserver”); var request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, “/path”); var byteArray = new UTF8Encoding().GetBytes(“<clientid>:<clientsecret>”); client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue(“Basic”, Convert.ToBase64String(byteArray)); var formData = new List<KeyValuePair<string, string>>(); formData.Add(new … Read more
Use this code to disable HTTP Keep-Alive on the client: _http.DefaultRequestHeaders.ConnectionClose = true; This will set Connection request header to close.
There is no difference. DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept is a collection of string type, where you can add your header to accept using the new instance of MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue. client.DefaultRequestHeaders is a dictionary that accepts key for and value for the request header and matches the results according to them. DefaultRequestHeaders has overloads. The only thing that differs between … Read more
I have found that the way to do this is by creating an instance of HttpClientHandler and passing it in the constructor of HttpClient public static async void makeRequest(int row, string url) { string result; Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch(); sw.Start(); // added here HttpClientHandler httpClientHandler = new HttpClientHandler(); httpClientHandler.AllowAutoRedirect = false; try { // … Read more
To follow redirects, you can do something like this (taken from ruby-doc) Following Redirection require ‘net/http’ require ‘uri’ def fetch(uri_str, limit = 10) # You should choose better exception. raise ArgumentError, ‘HTTP redirect too deep’ if limit == 0 url = URI.parse(uri_str) req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url.path, { ‘User-Agent’ => ‘Mozilla/5.0 (etc…)’ }) response = Net::HTTP.start(url.host, url.port, … Read more
If you use either of them with async it should be good for the performance point of view as it will not block the resources waiting for the response and you will get good throughput. HttpClient is preferred over HttpWebRequest due to async methods available out of the box and you would not have to … Read more
With RestSharp, it’s right there in the readme: var client = new RestClient(“http://example.com”); client.DownloadData(request).SaveAs(path); With HttpClient, it’s a bit more involved. Have a look at this blog post. Another option is Flurl.Http (disclaimer: I’m the author). It uses HttpClient under the hood and provides a fluent interface and lots of convenient helper methods, including: await … Read more
