WebRequest::RequestUri Property

 

When overridden in a descendant class, gets the URI of the Internet resource associated with the request.

Namespace:   System.Net
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)

public:
property Uri^ RequestUri {
	virtual Uri^ get();
}

Property Value

Type: System::Uri^

A Uri representing the resource associated with the request

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.

System_CAPS_noteNote

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();
