WebHeaderCollection myWebHeaderCollection = myHttpWebRequest.Headers; Console.WriteLine("Configuring Webrequest to accept Danish and English language using 'Add' method"); //Add the Accept-Language header (for Danish) in the request. myWebHeaderCollection.Add("Accept-Language:da"); //Include English in the Accept-Langauge header. myWebHeaderCollection.Add("Accept-Language","en;q=0.8"); //Get the associated response for the above request. HttpWebResponse myHttpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse) myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse(); //Print the headers for the request. printHeaders(myWebHeaderCollection); myHttpWebResponse.Close(); } //Catch exception if trying to add a restricted header. catch(ArgumentException e) { Console.WriteLine(e.Message); } 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); } } catch(Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("Exception is thrown.
