HttpWebRequest.DefaultMaximumResponseHeadersLength Property

Definition

Gets or sets the default for the MaximumResponseHeadersLength property.

public static int DefaultMaximumResponseHeadersLength { get; set; }

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.
