WebResponse.ResponseUri Property

The ResponseUri property contains the URI of the Internet resource that actually provided the response data. This resource might not be the originally requested URI if the underlying protocol allows redirection of the request.

Note
The WebResponse class is an abstract class. The actual behavior of WebResponse instances at run time is determined by the descendant class returned by WebRequest.GetResponse. For more information about default values and exceptions, please see the documentation for the descendant classes, such as HttpWebResponse and FileWebResponse.

The following example uses the ResponseUri property to determine the location from which the WebResponse originated.

			Uri ourUri = new Uri(url);            

			// Create a 'WebRequest' object with the specified url. 
			WebRequest myWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(url); 

			// Send the 'WebRequest' and wait for response.
			WebResponse myWebResponse = myWebRequest.GetResponse(); 
			
			// Use "ResponseUri" property to get the actual Uri from where the response was attained.
			if (ourUri.Equals(myWebResponse.ResponseUri))
				Console.WriteLine("\nRequest Url : {0} was not redirected",url);   
			else
				Console.WriteLine("\nRequest Url : {0} was redirected to {1}",url,myWebResponse.ResponseUri);   
			// Release resources of response object.
			myWebResponse.Close();
