HttpWebRequest.RequestUri Property

Definition

Gets the original Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the request.

C#
public override Uri RequestUri { get; }

Property Value

Uri

A Uri that contains the URI of the Internet resource passed to the Create(String) method.

Examples

The following code example checks to see if the HttpWebRequest object req was redirected to another location to fulfill the request, and sets the value of the hasChanged variable to true if the request was redirected; otherwise, hasChanged is set to false.

C#
bool hasChanged = (req.RequestUri != req.Address);

Remarks

Caution

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

The Uri object passed to HttpWebRequest by the call to WebRequest.Create.

Following a redirection header does not change the RequestUri property. To get the actual URI that responded to the request, examine the Address property.
