How to Set User-Agents in an HttpRequest (Unit Testing)

Question

I've got a method that takes in an HttpRequest object and performs differently based on what User Agent is set. I'm trying to unit test it and am having a heck of a time tracking down how to set the User Agent string. I've tried the raw HttpRequest object and a variety of other objects that eventually yield it to no avail.

Does anyone have any idea how to set the user agent string for an HttpRequest object?

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can set the UserAgent property on an HttpWebRequest, are you able to use that type instead?

Answer 2

You probably need to use a mock HttpRequest object. This will allow you to set various properties so you can test how your webapp responds.
