Converting Raw HTTP Request into HTTPWebRequest Object

by

I dont believe there is an exposed method to do this. You may have to find or write a parser to break the request up and then write your own class that extends HttpWebRequest.

Here is what looks like a parser from CodeProject:

I looked at the rotor code for the HttpWebRequest (briefly) and I did not see anything that stood out as a silver bullet. Here is the link to the file:

All of the rotor code is here for browsing online:

And here you can download it:

I know a bunch of links doesn’t really answer your question, but I don’t think the functionality that you are looking for is exposed in the framework. I would love to be proven wrong, so please update the post if you find a good way of doing it. I know tools out there must do it, anything written in .Net that logs raw requests and then lets you resubmit them is doing something similar. I believe fiddler (http://www.fiddler2.com) is written in .Net, you may want to shoot an email over to those guys and see if they can help.
