Examples

The following code example sets the ProtocolVersion Property.

// Create a new 'HttpWebRequest' Object to the mentioned URL.
HttpWebRequest^ myHttpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest^)( WebRequest::Create( "http://www.microsoft.com" ) );
// Use the existing 'ProtocolVersion' , and display it onto the console.
Console::WriteLine( "\nThe 'ProtocolVersion' of the protocol used is {0}", myHttpWebRequest->ProtocolVersion );
// Set the 'ProtocolVersion' property of the 'HttpWebRequest' to 'Version1::0' .
myHttpWebRequest->ProtocolVersion = HttpVersion::Version10;
// Assign the response object of 'HttpWebRequest' to a 'HttpWebResponse' variable.
HttpWebResponse^ myHttpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse^)( myHttpWebRequest->GetResponse() );
Console::WriteLine( "\nThe 'ProtocolVersion' of the protocol changed to {0}", myHttpWebRequest->ProtocolVersion );
Console::WriteLine( "\nThe protocol version of the response Object* is {0}", myHttpWebResponse->ProtocolVersion );

// Create a new 'HttpWebRequest' Object to the mentioned URL.
HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest=(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.microsoft.com");
// Use the existing 'ProtocolVersion' , and display it onto the console.	
Console.WriteLine("\nThe 'ProtocolVersion' of the protocol used is {0}",myHttpWebRequest.ProtocolVersion);
// Set the 'ProtocolVersion' property of the 'HttpWebRequest' to 'Version1.0' .
myHttpWebRequest.ProtocolVersion=HttpVersion.Version10;
 // Assign the response object of 'HttpWebRequest' to a 'HttpWebResponse' variable.
 HttpWebResponse myHttpWebResponse=(HttpWebResponse)myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse();
Console.WriteLine("\nThe 'ProtocolVersion' of the protocol changed to {0}",myHttpWebRequest.ProtocolVersion);
Console.WriteLine("\nThe protocol version of the response object is {0}",myHttpWebResponse.ProtocolVersion);

' Create a new 'HttpWebRequest' Object to the mentioned URL.
Dim myHttpWebRequest As HttpWebRequest = CType(WebRequest.Create("http://www.microsoft.com"), HttpWebRequest)
' Use the existing 'ProtocolVersion' , and display it onto the console.	
Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.Cr + "The 'ProtocolVersion' of the protocol used is {0}", myHttpWebRequest.ProtocolVersion)
' Set the 'ProtocolVersion' property of the 'HttpWebRequest' to 'Version1.0' .
myHttpWebRequest.ProtocolVersion = HttpVersion.Version10
'  Assign the response object of 'HttpWebRequest' to a 'HttpWebResponse' variable.
Dim myHttpWebResponse As HttpWebResponse = CType(myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.Cr + "The 'ProtocolVersion' of the protocol changed to {0}", myHttpWebRequest.ProtocolVersion)
Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.Cr + "The protocol version of the response object is {0}", myHttpWebResponse.ProtocolVersion)

Remarks

Caution

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

The HttpWebRequest class supports only versions 1.0 and 1.1 of HTTP. Setting ProtocolVersion to a different version throws an exception.

Note

To set the HTTP version of the current request, use the Version10 and Version11 fields of the HttpVersion class.
