Examples

The following example shows how the Socket class can be used to send data to an HTTP server, printing the ASCII response to the standard output. This example blocks the calling thread until the entire page is received.

private static void SendHttpRequest(Uri? uri = null, int port = 80)
{
    uri ??= new Uri("http://example.com");

    // Construct a minimalistic HTTP/1.1 request
    byte[] requestBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(@$"GET {uri.AbsoluteUri} HTTP/1.0
Host: {uri.Host}
Connection: Close

");

    // Create and connect a dual-stack socket
    using Socket socket = new Socket(SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);
    socket.Connect(uri.Host, port);

    // Send the request.
    // For the tiny amount of data in this example, the first call to Send() will likely deliver the buffer completely,
    // however this is not guaranteed to happen for larger real-life buffers.
    // The best practice is to iterate until all the data is sent.
    int bytesSent = 0;
    while (bytesSent < requestBytes.Length)
    {
        bytesSent += socket.Send(requestBytes, bytesSent, requestBytes.Length - bytesSent, SocketFlags.None);
    }

    // Do minimalistic buffering assuming ASCII response
    byte[] responseBytes = new byte[256];
    char[] responseChars = new char[256];

    while (true)
    {
        int bytesReceived = socket.Receive(responseBytes);

        // Receiving 0 bytes means EOF has been reached
        if (bytesReceived == 0) break;

        // Convert byteCount bytes to ASCII characters using the 'responseChars' buffer as destination
        int charCount = Encoding.ASCII.GetChars(responseBytes, 0, bytesReceived, responseChars, 0);

        // Print the contents of the 'responseChars' buffer to Console.Out
        Console.Out.Write(responseChars, 0, charCount);
    }
}

The next example demonstrates the same HTTP GET scenario, using Task-based asynchronous APIs, while also forwarding a CancellationToken to the asynchronous methods, making the entire operation cancellable.

Tip

Socket's async methods that do not take a CancellationToken typically return a Task, which is allocated on the heap. Cancellable overloads are always ValueTask-returning; using them helps reducing allocations in high-performance code.

private static async Task SendHttpRequestAsync(Uri? uri = null, int port = 80, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
{
    uri ??= new Uri("http://example.com");

    // Construct a minimalistic HTTP/1.1 request
    byte[] requestBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(@$"GET {uri.AbsoluteUri} HTTP/1.1
Host: {uri.Host}
Connection: Close

");

    // Create and connect a dual-stack socket
    using Socket socket = new Socket(SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);
    await socket.ConnectAsync(uri.Host, port, cancellationToken);

    // Send the request.
    // For the tiny amount of data in this example, the first call to SendAsync() will likely deliver the buffer completely,
    // however this is not guaranteed to happen for larger real-life buffers.
    // The best practice is to iterate until all the data is sent.
    int bytesSent = 0;
    while (bytesSent < requestBytes.Length)
    {
        bytesSent += await socket.SendAsync(requestBytes.AsMemory(bytesSent), SocketFlags.None);
    }

    // Do minimalistic buffering assuming ASCII response
    byte[] responseBytes = new byte[256];
    char[] responseChars = new char[256];

    while (true)
    {
        int bytesReceived = await socket.ReceiveAsync(responseBytes, SocketFlags.None, cancellationToken);

        // Receiving 0 bytes means EOF has been reached
        if (bytesReceived == 0) break;

        // Convert byteCount bytes to ASCII characters using the 'responseChars' buffer as destination
        int charCount = Encoding.ASCII.GetChars(responseBytes, 0, bytesReceived, responseChars, 0);

        // Print the contents of the 'responseChars' buffer to Console.Out
        await Console.Out.WriteAsync(responseChars.AsMemory(0, charCount), cancellationToken);
    }
}

Thread Safety

It is safe to perform a send and a receive operation simultaneously on a Socket instance, but it's not recommended to issue multiple send or multiple receive calls concurrently. Depending on the underlying platform implementation, this may lead to unintended data interleaving for large or multi-buffer sends or receives.
