Public Property TransferEncoding As String

Property Value

The value of the Transfer-encoding HTTP header. The default value is null.

Exceptions

TransferEncoding is set to the value "Chunked".

Remarks

Before you can set the TransferEncoding property, you must first set the SendChunked property to true. Clearing TransferEncoding by setting it to null has no effect on the value of SendChunked.

Values assigned to the TransferEncoding property replace any existing contents.

Note

The value for this property is stored in WebHeaderCollection. If WebHeaderCollection is set, the property value is lost.
