WebClient wb = new WebClient(); wb.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.Cookie, “somecookie”); From Comments How do you format the name and value of the cookie in place of “somecookie” ? wb.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.Cookie, “cookiename=cookievalue”); For multiple cookies: wb.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.Cookie, “cookiename1=cookievalue1;” + “cookiename2=cookievalue2”);
Servers sometimes compress their responses to save on bandwidth, when this happens, you need to decompress the response before attempting to read it. Fortunately, the .NET framework can do this automatically, however, we have to turn the setting on. Here’s an example of how you could achieve that. string html = string.Empty; string url = … Read more
WebClient is a higher-level abstraction built on top of HttpWebRequest to simplify the most common tasks. For instance, if you want to get the content out of an HttpWebResponse, you have to read from the response stream: var http = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(“http://example.com”); var response = http.GetResponse(); var stream = response.GetResponseStream(); var sr = new StreamReader(stream); var … Read more
You can use Request object or Uri object to get host of url. Using Request.Url string host = Request.Url.Host; Using Uri Uri myUri = new Uri(“http://www.contoso.com:8080/”); string host = myUri.Host; // host is “www.contoso.com”
The items with code “200 (cache)” were fulfilled directly from your browser cache, meaning that the original requests for the items were returned with headers indicating that the browser could cache them (e.g. future-dated Expires or Cache-Control: max-age headers), and that at the time you triggered the new request, those cached objects were still stored … Read more
It would be nice if there were some way of turning off “throw on non-success code” but if you catch WebException you can at least use the response: using System; using System.IO; using System.Web; using System.Net; public class Test { static void Main() { WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(“http://csharpindepth.com/asd”); try { using (WebResponse response = request.GetResponse()) … Read more
You can send it and insert the data to the body: var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.open(“POST”, yourUrl, true); xhr.setRequestHeader(‘Content-Type’, ‘application/json’); xhr.send(JSON.stringify({ value: value })); By the way, for get request: var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); // we defined the xhr xhr.onreadystatechange = function () { if (this.readyState != 4) return; if (this.status == 200) … Read more
Took the code above and fixed because it throws Internal Server Error 500. There are some problems with \r\n badly positioned and spaces etc. Applied the refactoring with memory stream, writing directly to the request stream. Here is the result: public static void HttpUploadFile(string url, string file, string paramName, string contentType, NameValueCollection nvc) { log.Debug(string.Format(“Uploading … Read more
The way I do it and is working is: var httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(“http://url”); httpWebRequest.ContentType = “application/json”; httpWebRequest.Method = “POST”; using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream())) { string json = “{\”user\”:\”test\”,” + “\”password\”:\”bla\”}”; streamWriter.Write(json); } var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse(); using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream())) { var result = streamReader.ReadToEnd(); } I wrote a library to … Read more
Console.Write((int)response.StatusCode); HttpStatusCode (the type of response.StatusCode) is an enumeration where the values of the members match the HTTP status codes, e.g. public enum HttpStatusCode { … Moved = 301, OK = 200, Redirect = 302, … }
