WebHeaderCollection.IsRestricted Method (String)
Assembly: System (in system.dll)
| Exception type | Condition |
|---|---|
| headerName is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) or Empty. | |
| headerName contains invalid characters. |
The IsRestricted method returns true to indicate that a header is restricted and must be set using properties instead of directly or is set by the system. The restricted headers are:
-
Accept
-
Connection
-
Content-Length
-
Content-Type
-
Date
-
Expect
-
Host
-
If-Modified-Since
-
Range
-
Referer
-
Transfer-Encoding
-
User-Agent
-
Proxy-Connection
The following example checks the IsRestricted property to see if any headers are prohibited from being set.
try {
// Create a web request for "www.msn.com".
HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create("http://www.msn.com");
// Get the associated response for the above request.
HttpWebResponse myHttpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse) myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse();
// Get the headers associated with the response.
WebHeaderCollection myWebHeaderCollection = myHttpWebResponse.Headers;
for (int i = 0; i < myWebHeaderCollection.Count;i++)
{
// Check if the first response header is restricted.
if(WebHeaderCollection.IsRestricted(myWebHeaderCollection.AllKeys[i]))
Console.WriteLine("'{0}' is a restricted header", myWebHeaderCollection.AllKeys[i]);
else
Console.WriteLine("'{0}' is not a restricted header", myWebHeaderCollection.AllKeys[i]);
}
myHttpWebResponse.Close();
}
catch(WebException e) {
Console.WriteLine("\nWebException is thrown.\nMessage is:" + e.Message);
if(e.Status == WebExceptionStatus.ProtocolError) {
Console.WriteLine("Status Code : {0}", ((HttpWebResponse)e.Response).StatusCode);
Console.WriteLine("Status Description : {0}", ((HttpWebResponse)e.Response).StatusDescription);
Console.WriteLine("Server : {0}", ((HttpWebResponse)e.Response).Server);

HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)(WebRequest.
Create("http://www.msn.com"));
// Get the associated response for the above request.
HttpWebResponse myHttpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse)(
myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse());
// Get the headers associated with the response.
WebHeaderCollection myWebHeaderCollection =
myHttpWebResponse.get_Headers();

}
else {
Console.WriteLine("'{0}' is not a restricted header",
myWebHeaderCollection.get_AllKeys().get_Item(i));
}
}
myHttpWebResponse.Close();
}
catch (WebException e) {
