try { HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url); HttpWebResponse myHttpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse)myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse(); Console.WriteLine("The encoding method used is: " + myHttpWebResponse.ContentEncoding); Console.WriteLine("The character set used is :" + myHttpWebResponse.CharacterSet); char seperator = '/'; String contenttype = myHttpWebResponse.ContentType; // Retrieve 'text' if the content type is of 'text/html. String maintype = contenttype.Substring(0,contenttype.IndexOf(seperator)); // Display only 'text' type. if (String.Compare(maintype,"text") == 0) { Console.WriteLine("\n Content type is 'text'.");
try {
HttpWebRequest* myHttpWebRequest =
dynamic_cast<HttpWebRequest*>(WebRequest::Create(url));
HttpWebResponse* myHttpWebResponse =
dynamic_cast<HttpWebResponse*>(myHttpWebRequest->GetResponse());
Console::WriteLine(S"The encoding method used is: {0}",
myHttpWebResponse->ContentEncoding);
Console::WriteLine(S"The character set used is : {0}",
myHttpWebResponse->CharacterSet);
char separator = '/';
String* contenttype = myHttpWebResponse->ContentType;
// Retrieve 'text' if the content type is of 'text/html.
String* maintype = contenttype->Substring(0, contenttype->IndexOf(separator));
// Display only 'text' type.
if (String::Compare(maintype, S"text") == 0) {
Console::WriteLine(S"\n Content type is 'text'.");
