The following code example sets the Referer property.
// Create a 'HttpWebRequest' object. HttpWebRequest^ myHttpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest^)( WebRequest::Create( myUri ) ); // Set referer property to http://www.microsoft.com . myHttpWebRequest->Referer = "http://www.microsoft.com"; // Assign the response object of 'HttpWebRequest' to a 'HttpWebResponse' variable. HttpWebResponse^ myHttpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse^)( myHttpWebRequest->GetResponse() ); // Display the contents of the page to the console. Stream^ streamResponse = myHttpWebResponse->GetResponseStream(); StreamReader^ streamRead = gcnew StreamReader( streamResponse ); array<Char>^ readBuffer = gcnew array<Char>(256); int count = streamRead->Read( readBuffer, 0, 256 ); Console::WriteLine( "\nThe contents of HTML page are......." ); while ( count > 0 ) { String^ outputData = gcnew String( readBuffer,0,count ); Console::Write( outputData ); count = streamRead->Read( readBuffer, 0, 256 ); } Console::WriteLine( "\nHTTP Request Headers :\n\n {0}", myHttpWebRequest->Headers ); Console::WriteLine( "\nHTTP Response Headers :\n\n {0}", myHttpWebResponse->Headers ); streamRead->Close(); streamResponse->Close(); // Release the response object resources. myHttpWebResponse->Close(); Console::WriteLine( "Referer to the site is: {0}", myHttpWebRequest->Referer );
