HttpWebRequest.DefaultMaximumResponseHeadersLength Property

Definition

Gets or sets the default for the MaximumResponseHeadersLength property.

public:
 static property int DefaultMaximumResponseHeadersLength { int get(); void set(int value); };
public static int DefaultMaximumResponseHeadersLength { get; set; }
static member DefaultMaximumResponseHeadersLength : int with get, set
Public Shared Property DefaultMaximumResponseHeadersLength As Integer

Property Value

The length, in kilobytes (1024 bytes), of the default maximum for response headers received. The default configuration file sets this value to 64 kilobytes.

Exceptions

The value is less than zero.

Remarks

Caution

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

The length of the response header received the response status line and any extra control characters that are received as part of HTTP protocol. A value of 0 means that all requests fail.

This value can also be changed in the configuration file. The impact of this property can be overridden by setting the MaximumResponseHeadersLength property on an instance of the HttpWebRequest class.
