The following code example sets the Referer property.
// Create a 'HttpWebRequest' object. HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest=(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(myUri); // Set referer property to http://www.microsoft.com . myHttpWebRequest.Referer="http://www.microsoft.com"; // Assign the response object of 'HttpWebRequest' to a 'HttpWebResponse' variable. HttpWebResponse myHttpWebResponse=(HttpWebResponse)myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse(); // Display the contents of the page to the console. Stream streamResponse=myHttpWebResponse.GetResponseStream(); StreamReader streamRead = new StreamReader( streamResponse ); Char[] readBuffer = new Char[256]; int count = streamRead.Read( readBuffer, 0, 256 ); Console.WriteLine("\nThe contents of HTML page are......."); while (count > 0) { String outputData = new String(readBuffer, 0, count); Console.Write(outputData); count = streamRead.Read(readBuffer, 0, 256); } Console.WriteLine("\nHTTP Request Headers :\n\n{0}",myHttpWebRequest.Headers); Console.WriteLine("\nHTTP Response Headers :\n\n{0}",myHttpWebResponse.Headers); streamRead.Close(); streamResponse.Close(); // Release the response object resources. myHttpWebResponse.Close(); Console.WriteLine("Referer to the site is:{0}",myHttpWebRequest.Referer);
// Create a 'HttpWebRequest' object.
HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)
WebRequest.Create(myUri);
// Set referer property to http://www.microsoft.com.
myHttpWebRequest.set_Referer("http://www.microsoft.com");
// Assign the response object of 'HttpWebRequest' to a
//'HttpWebResponse' variable.
HttpWebResponse myHttpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse)
myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse();
// Display the contents of the page to the console.
Stream streamResponse = myHttpWebResponse.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader streamRead = new StreamReader(streamResponse);
char readBuffer[] = new char[256];
int count = streamRead.Read(readBuffer, 0, 256);
Console.WriteLine("\nThe contents of HTML page are.......");
while (count > 0) {
String outputData = new String(readBuffer, 0, count);
Console.Write(outputData);
count = streamRead.Read(readBuffer, 0, 256);
}
Console.WriteLine("\nHTTP Request Headers :\n\n{0}",
myHttpWebRequest.get_Headers());
Console.WriteLine("\nHTTP Response Headers :\n\n{0}",
myHttpWebResponse.get_Headers());
streamRead.Close();
streamResponse.Close();
// Release the response object resources.
myHttpWebResponse.Close();
Console.WriteLine("Referer to the site is:{0}",
myHttpWebRequest.get_Referer());
