HttpWebRequest.Accept Property

Definition

Gets or sets the value of the Accept HTTP header.

public string Accept { get; set; }
public string? Accept { get; set; }

Property Value

The value of the Accept HTTP header. The default value is null.

Examples

The following code example sets the Accept property.

// Create a 'HttpWebRequest' object.
HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest=(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(myUri);
// Set the 'Accept' property to accept an image of any type.
myHttpWebRequest.Accept="image/*";
// The response object of 'HttpWebRequest' is assigned to a 'HttpWebResponse' variable.
HttpWebResponse myHttpWebResponse=(HttpWebResponse)myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse();

Remarks

Caution

WebRequest, HttpWebRequest, ServicePoint, and WebClient are obsolete, and you shouldn't use them for new development. Use HttpClient instead.

To clear the Accept HTTP header, set the Accept property to null.

Note

The value for this property is stored in WebHeaderCollection. If WebHeaderCollection is set, the property value is lost.
