Examples

The following code example creates an HttpWebRequest for the URI http://www.contoso.com/.

HttpWebRequest^ myReq = dynamic_cast<HttpWebRequest^>(WebRequest::Create( "http://www.contoso.com/" ));

HttpWebRequest myReq =
(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.contoso.com/");

Dim myReq As HttpWebRequest = _
    WebRequest.Create("http://www.contoso.com/")

Remarks

Caution

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

The HttpWebRequest class provides support for the properties and methods defined in WebRequest and for additional properties and methods that enable the user to interact directly with servers using HTTP.

Do not use the HttpWebRequest constructor. Use the WebRequest.Create method to initialize new HttpWebRequest objects. If the scheme for the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is http:// or https://, Create returns an HttpWebRequest object.

The GetResponse method makes a synchronous request to the resource specified in the RequestUri property and returns an HttpWebResponse that contains the response object. The response data can be received by using the stream returned by GetResponseStream. If the response object or the response stream is closed, remaining data will be forfeited. The remaining data will be drained and the socket will be re-used for subsequent requests when closing the response object or stream if the following conditions hold: it's a keep-alive or pipelined request, only a small amount of data needs to be received, or the remaining data is received in a small time interval. If none of the mentioned conditions hold or the drain time is exceeded, the socket will be closed. For keep-alive or pipelined connections, we strongly recommend that the application reads the streams until EOF. This ensures that the socket will be re-used for subsequent requests resulting in better performance and less resources used.

When you want to send data to the resource, the GetRequestStream method returns a Stream object to use to send data. The BeginGetRequestStream and EndGetRequestStream methods provide asynchronous access to the send data stream.

For client authentication with HttpWebRequest, the client certificate must be installed in the My certificate store of the current user.

The HttpWebRequest class throws a WebException when errors occur while accessing a resource. The WebException.Status property contains a WebExceptionStatus value that indicates the source of the error. When WebException.Status is WebExceptionStatus.ProtocolError, the Response property contains the HttpWebResponse received from the resource.

HttpWebRequest exposes common HTTP header values sent to the Internet resource as properties, set by methods, or set by the system; the following table contains a complete list. You can set other headers in the Headers property as name/value pairs. Note that servers and caches may change or add headers during the request.

The following table lists the HTTP headers that are set either by properties or methods or the system.

Header Set by
Accept Set by the Accept property.
Connection Set by the Connection property, KeepAlive property.
Content-Length Set by the ContentLength property.
Content-Type Set by the ContentType property.
Expect Set by the Expect property.
Date Set by the system to current date.
Host Set by the system to current host information.
If-Modified-Since Set by the IfModifiedSince property.
Range Set by the AddRange method.
Referer Set by the Referer property.
Transfer-Encoding Set by the TransferEncoding property (the SendChunked property must be true).
User-Agent Set by the UserAgent property.

Note

HttpWebRequest is registered automatically. You do not need to call the RegisterPrefix method to register System.Net.HttpWebRequest before using URIs beginning with http:// or https://.

The local computer or application config file may specify that a default proxy be used. If the Proxy property is specified, then the proxy settings from the Proxy property override the local computer or application config file and the HttpWebRequest instance will use the proxy settings specified. If no proxy is specified in a config file and the Proxy property is unspecified, the HttpWebRequest class uses the proxy settings inherited from Internet options on the local computer. If there are no proxy settings in Internet options, the request is sent directly to the server.

Note

The Framework caches SSL sessions as they are created and attempts to reuse a cached session for a new request, if possible. When attempting to reuse an SSL session, the Framework uses the first element of ClientCertificates (if there is one), or tries to reuse an anonymous sessions if ClientCertificates is empty.

Note

For security reasons, cookies are disabled by default. If you want to use cookies, use the CookieContainer property to enable cookies.

The .NET Framework 4.6 includes a new security feature that blocks insecure cipher and hashing algorithms for connections. Applications using TLS/SSL through APIs such as HttpClient, HttpWebRequest, FTPClient, SmtpClient, SslStream, etc. and targeting .NET Framework 4.6 get the more-secure behavior by default.

Developers may want to opt out of this behavior in order to maintain interoperability with their existing SSL3 services OR TLS w/ RC4 services. This article explains how to modify your code so that the new behavior is disabled.
