The follow code (running in ASP.Net 2.0) displays the contents of the requested URL twice. I only want it to display the contents of the requested URL once. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I'm setting a custom StatusDescription in a RESTful WCF service when an exception is thrown. It's meant to provide the caller with a friendly description of why they got the failure status code. The following is the response I see in Fiddler. So I know that my custom message is getting pushed back through to the caller. What I can't ...
What's the optimal buffer size to use with a stream from HttpWebResponse.GetResponseStream()? Online examples vary from 256b to as much as 5Kb. What gives? I guess buffer sizes might be situational. If so what are the situations to use what type of buffer size? Thanks. ...

The Url I am using to create the HttpWebRequest object has querystring to render the correct output. When I browse to the page using any old browser it renders correctly.

We're making some calls to some very simple JSON web services in .NET CF 3.5 / Windows Mobile 6 and it appears that we've run into this bug: http://blogs.msdn.com/andrewarnottms/archive/2007/11/19/why-net-compact-framework-fails-to-call-some-https-web-servers.aspx Is it really almost two years later and this isn't fixed? Seems like a pr...

Hi all. I'm trying to implement a limited web crawler in C# (for a few hundred sites only) using HttpWebResponse.GetResponse() and Streamreader.ReadToEnd() , also tried using StreamReader.Read() and a loop to build my HTML string.

Hi, I'm trying to get a bunch of HTML files downloaded from the internet and using HttpWebRequest to do it. However when I use WebRequest.Create("http://www.stackoverflow.com/"); WebRequest.GetResponse(); The HttpWebResponse.ContentLength is always -1.

I have found the following asp.net code to be very useful when serving files from a database: Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName); This lets the user save the file to their computer and then decide how to use it, instead of the browser trying to use the file. What other things can be done ...
The closest thing I could find was System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames but that doesn't seem to have everything (like json) since it seems to be more focused around email attachments. ...
Hi, I have a few HttpWebRequests and HttpWebResponses chained together, also using CookieContainer. The code simulates a user going through three different 'I agree' pages which set the cookie info, logging in with username and password on a fourth, and doing a POST (search) on the fifth returning the response as a string. Is there a ...
I have the following code which re-uses a CookieContainer which logs in on the first request, but just uses the cookie container for requests after. After a period of time if idle the site will give a Session Timeout, I will need to perform the login again. Q: Can I determine (with the cookie container object) if the timeout has happen...
