Webrequest Disallow AutoRedirect

Question

Hi

In .Net 2.0 how can I disallow AutoRedirect when using WebRequest? I found some source code were there where used an AllowAutoRedirect property, but on my WebRequest there is no such property.

Answer 1

You need to cast it to a HttpWebRequest

HttpWebRequest WebRequest =
(HttpWebRequest)System.Net.WebRequest.Create("http://www.mySite.com");
WebRequest.AllowAutoRedirect = false;

Answer 2

WebRequest itself doesn't have such a property, but HttpWebRequest does. If you cast to HttpWebRequest, you can set AllowAutoRedirect to false.

If your web request really isn't an HttpWebRequest, please explain what kind of request it is.
