Name
HttpWebRequest
Synopsis
This is a subclass of WebRequest
.
.NET uses this subclass to request documents from the http
and https
URI schemes (RFC’s 2616 and 2818, respectively).
An instance of this type is returned by WebRequest.Create()
when
a URI starting with the http:// or
https:// prefix is passed in. Since that method’s
return value is WebRequest
, cast it
to HttpWebRequest
if you need access to
any of the methods or properties that are unique to this
class (and the HTTP or HTTPS protocol).
The properties on this type correspond directly to the headers documented
in the RFC standard documentation; see that document for details regarding
their contents. Note that because these headers are sent as part of the
HTTP request, any modification of the headers must be done before the
request is sent to the remote host. (Calling either the GetResponse()
or the BeginGetResponse()
,
the asynchronous version of GetResponse()
, sends the
request.)
When a WebRequest
encounters an error, a WebException
is thrown.
