I'm posting an XML string to a port on an AIX box. I have two ways in which I'm connecting to this box (TcpClient & HttpWebRequest). I have timers in place to give me an idea how long it is taking the AIX box to process my request and respond. It appears that the TcpClient is faster than the HttpWebRequest by up to 100 milliseconds. I s...
Let's say I have the following code : ThreadPool.SetMinThreads(100, 100); for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { var request = WebRequest.Create(url); request.BeginGetResponse(ar => { //inside AsynchCallBack method for request.BeginGetResponse() var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.EndGetResponse(ar); string html; using (var ...

Hello, I'm using a C# WebClient to post login details to a page and read the all the results. The page I am trying to load includes flash (which, in the browser, translates into HTML). I'm guessing it's flash to avoid being picked up by search engines??? The flash I am interested in is just text (not an image/video) etc and when I "V...
I'm running a C# Console Application that is multi-threaded. The core process retrieves some data to work on, splits it up into a configurable number of smaller datasets, and then spawns the same number of threads to process each subset of data. To process an individual record, a thread has to make a call to a web service using the WebR...
I'm writing an ASP.NET web application which will run on Windows Server 2008 (IIS7). Each page's codebehind will need to make at least one synchronous web service call to an external server using HttpWebRequest and GET. My question - is there any limit to the number of outbound HttpWebRequest calls I can make? (assume that the server I...
Hi, QUESTION: Anyone have some code they could post that will download a file from a URL/Link that will automatically handle: (a) binary or text based (b) gzip encoded BACKGROUND: I've been starting to do this but hitting hurdles.

Hi I wrote a wrapper around HttpWebRequest with the constructor : public MyHttpRequest(string requestUrl) { this.webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(requestUrl); } when I pass a vaild url that works in IE : http://www.google.co.il/search?q=%D7%A9%D7%9E%D7%A8+%D7%97%D7%A1%D7%95%D7%9F&ie=utf-8&am...
I believe after lengthy research and searching, I have discovered that what I want to do is probably better served by setting up an asynchronous connection and terminating it after the desired timeout... But I will go ahead and ask anyway! Quick snippet of code: HttpWebRequest webReq = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url); webReq...
Hi, In C# rather than having to dowloading a file from the web using httpwebrequest, save this to file somewhere, and then upload to a webservice using a POST with the file as one of the parameters... Can I instead somehow open a reader stream from httpwebresponse and then stream this into the http POST? Any code someone could post t...

The one saved from IE is here and the one from HttpWebRequest is here. They differ in formating and in the content itself. It seems that the one downloaded by HttpWebRequ...
Hi, I want to build a .NET REST client using C#, and although i read lots of posts here about the common practices regarding REST, i could not make sure about something. I've read lots of REST client examples and most of them were using just HttpWebRequest/Response classes to make the requests and receive the responses. What i want to a...

I'm getting the response from an HttpWebRequest (using a modified version Jeff Richter's CCR wrappers), then inspecting a few of the headers in order to decide whether or not to continue the download. Sometimes I might not want to continue, so I consequently issue response.Close and request.Abort. Is it necessary to issue GetResponseStre...
