Examples


      // HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse are members of the 
      // RequestState class defined for this sample


      // Need to subtitute with a URI that works
        Uri url = new Uri("https://www.contoso.com");

        try 
            {   
            // Creates an HttpWebRequest for the specified URL. 
                    HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest1 = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url); 

            // Create an instance of the RequestState and assign the previous myHttpWebRequest1
            // object to it's request field.  
            RequestState myRequestState = new RequestState();  
            myRequestState.request = myHttpWebRequest1;

            // Start the asynchronous request.
            IAsyncResult result=
              (IAsyncResult) myHttpWebRequest1.BeginGetResponse(new AsyncCallback(RespCallback),myRequestState);

            allDone.WaitOne();

            outputBlock.Text += "The following method was used: ";
            outputBlock.Text += myRequestState.response.Method;
            outputBlock.Text += "\n";     

            // Release the HttpWebResponse resource.
            myRequestState.response.Close();
        }
            catch(WebException e) 
            {
                outputBlock.Text += "\nException raised!\n";
            outputBlock.Text += "Message: ";
            outputBlock.Text += e.Message;
            outputBlock.Text += "\nStatus: ";
            outputBlock.Text += e.Status;
            outputBlock.Text += "\n";
        }
            catch(Exception e)
              {

              }
      }
    
      private static void RespCallback(IAsyncResult asynchronousResult)
    {  
        try
        {
            // State of request is asynchronous.
            RequestState myRequestState=(RequestState) asynchronousResult.AsyncState;
            HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest2=myRequestState.request;
            myRequestState.response = (HttpWebResponse) myHttpWebRequest2.EndGetResponse(asynchronousResult);
        }
        catch(WebException e)
            {
            // need to handle exception here
        }
