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. |
Notes to Inheritors:
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();
