If you attempt to set a Content-Length, Keep-Alive, Transfer-Encoding, or WWW-Authenticate header using the Headers property, an exception will be thrown. Use the KeepAlive or ContentLength64 properties to set these headers. You cannot set the Transfer-Encoding or WWW-Authenticate headers manually. |
The following code example demonstrates displaying the headers in a WebHeaderCollection.
' Displays the header information that accompanied a request.
Public Shared Sub DisplayWebHeaderCollection(ByVal response As HttpListenerResponse)
Dim headers As WebHeaderCollection = response.Headers
' Get each header and display each value.
For Each key As String In headers.AllKeys
Dim values() As String = headers.GetValues(key)
If values.Length > 0 Then
Console.WriteLine("The values of the {0} header are: ", key)
For Each value As String In values
Console.WriteLine(" {0}", value)
Next value
Else
Console.WriteLine("There is no value associated with the header.")
End If
Next key
End Sub
// Displays the header information that accompanied a request.
public static void DisplayWebHeaderCollection(HttpListenerResponse response)
{
WebHeaderCollection headers = response.Headers;
// Get each header and display each value.
foreach (string key in headers.AllKeys)
{
string[] values = headers.GetValues(key);
if(values.Length > 0)
{
Console.WriteLine("The values of the {0} header are: ", key);
foreach (string value in values)
{
Console.WriteLine(" {0}", value);
}
}
else
Console.WriteLine("There is no value associated with the header.");
}
