HttpWebResponse.Headers Property
Assembly: System (in system.dll)
The Headers property is a collection of name/value pairs that contain the HTTP header values returned with the response. Common header information returned from the Internet resource is exposed as properties of the HttpWebResponse class. The following table lists common headers that the API exposes as properties.
| Header | Property |
|---|---|
| Content-Encoding | |
| Content-Length | |
| Content-Type | |
| Last-Modified | |
| Server |
The following example writes the contents of all of the response headers to the console.
// Creates an HttpWebRequest for the specified URL. HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url); // Sends the HttpWebRequest and waits for response. HttpWebResponse myHttpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse)myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse(); // Displays all the headers present in the response received from the URI. Console.WriteLine("\r\nThe following headers were received in the response:"); // Displays each header and it's key associated with the response. for(int i=0; i < myHttpWebResponse.Headers.Count; ++i) Console.WriteLine("\nHeader Name:{0}, Value :{1}",myHttpWebResponse.Headers.Keys[i],myHttpWebResponse.Headers[i]); // Releases the resources of the response. myHttpWebResponse.Close();
// Creates an HttpWebRequest for the specified URL.
HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)
WebRequest.Create(url);
// Sends the HttpWebRequest and waits for response.
HttpWebResponse myHttpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse)
myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse();
// Displays all the headers present in the response
// received from the URI.
Console.WriteLine("\r\nThe following headers were received"
+ " in the response:");
// Displays each header and it's key associated with the response.
for (int i = 0; i < myHttpWebResponse.get_Headers().get_Count();
++i) {
Console.WriteLine("\nHeader Name:{0}, Value :{1}",
myHttpWebResponse.get_Headers().get_Keys().get_Item(i),
myHttpWebResponse.get_Headers().get_Item(i));
} // Releases the resources of the response.
myHttpWebResponse.Close();
