WebRequest::RequestUri Property
When overridden in a descendant class, gets the URI of the Internet resource associated with the request.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| NotImplementedException | Any attempt is made to get or set the property, when the property is not overridden in a descendant class. |
When overridden in a descendant class, the RequestUri property contains the Uri instance that Create method uses to create the request.
Note |
|---|
The WebRequest class is an abstract class. The actual behavior of WebRequest instances at run time is determined by the descendant class returned by the WebRequest::Create method. For more information about default values and exceptions, see the documentation for the descendant classes, such as HttpWebRequest and FileWebRequest. |
RequestUri must contain the original Uri instance passed to the Create method. If the protocol is able to redirect the request to a different URI to service the request, the descendant must provide a property to contain the URI that actually services the request
The following example checks the RequestUri property to determine the site originally requested.
// Create a new WebRequest object to the mentioned URL.
WebRequest^ myWebRequest = WebRequest::Create( "http://www.contoso.com" );
Console::WriteLine( "\nThe Uri requested is {0}", myWebRequest->RequestUri);
// Assign the response object of 'WebRequest' to a 'WebResponse' variable.
WebResponse^ myWebResponse = myWebRequest->GetResponse();
// Get the stream containing content returned by the server.
Stream^ streamResponse = myWebResponse->GetResponseStream();
Console::WriteLine("\nThe Uri that responded to the request is '{0}'",myWebResponse->ResponseUri);
StreamReader^ reader = gcnew StreamReader(streamResponse);
// Read the content.
String^ responseFromServer = reader->ReadToEnd();
// Display the content.
Console::WriteLine("\nThe HTML Contents received:");
Console::WriteLine (responseFromServer);
// Cleanup the streams and the response.
reader->Close();
streamResponse->Close();
myWebResponse->Close();
