for those interested: System.Net.ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit = x (where x is your desired number of connections) no need for extra references just make sure this is called BEFORE the service point is created as mentioned above in the post.
WebClient wb = new WebClient(); wb.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.Cookie, “somecookie”); From Comments How do you format the name and value of the cookie in place of “somecookie” ? wb.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.Cookie, “cookiename=cookievalue”); For multiple cookies: wb.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.Cookie, “cookiename1=cookievalue1;” + “cookiename2=cookievalue2”);
Upload The most trivial way to upload a binary file to an FTP server using .NET framework is using WebClient.UploadFile: WebClient client = new WebClient(); client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(“username”, “password”); client.UploadFile( “ftp://ftp.example.com/remote/path/file.zip”, @”C:\local\path\file.zip”); If you need a greater control, that WebClient does not offer (like TLS/SSL encryption, ascii/text transfer mode, transfer resuming, etc), use FtpWebRequest. … Read more
My answer comes from here You can make a derived class, which will set the timeout property of the base WebRequest class: using System; using System.Net; public class WebDownload : WebClient { /// <summary> /// Time in milliseconds /// </summary> public int Timeout { get; set; } public WebDownload() : this(60000) { } public WebDownload(int … Read more
You can extend the timeout: inherit the original WebClient class and override the webrequest getter to set your own timeout, like in the following example. MyWebClient was a private class in my case: private class MyWebClient : WebClient { protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri uri) { WebRequest w = base.GetWebRequest(uri); w.Timeout = 20 * 60 * … Read more
Here is what I did to get this working in a simple example. I had to generate an oAuth consumer key and secret from Twitter at: https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new I deserialized the authentication object first to get the token and type back in order to authenticate the timeline call. The timeline call simply reads the json as … Read more
You can continue using WebClient to POST (instead of GET, which is the HTTP verb you’re currently using with DownloadString), but I think you’ll find it easier to work with the (slightly) lower-level classes WebRequest and WebResponse. There are two parts to this – the first is to post the login form, the second is … Read more
WebClient uses HttpWebRequest under the covers. And HttpWebRequest supports gzip/deflate decompression. See HttpWebRequest AutomaticDecompression property However, WebClient class does not expose this property directly. So you will have to derive from it to set the property on the underlying HttpWebRequest. class MyWebClient : WebClient { protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri address) { HttpWebRequest request = base.GetWebRequest(address) … Read more
HttpClient is the newer of the APIs and it has the benefits of has a good async programming model being worked on by Henrik F Nielson who is basically one of the inventors of HTTP, and he designed the API so it is easy for you to follow the HTTP standard, e.g. generating standards-compliant headers … Read more
I just found the solution and yea it was easier than I thought 🙂 so here is the solution: string URI = “http://www.myurl.com/post.php”; string myParameters = “param1=value1¶m2=value2¶m3=value3”; using (WebClient wc = new WebClient()) { wc.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.ContentType] = “application/x-www-form-urlencoded”; string HtmlResult = wc.UploadString(URI, myParameters); } it works like charm 🙂
