.NET - downloading multiple pages from a website with a single DNS query
- by lampak
I'm using HttpRequest to download several pages from a website (in a loop). Simplifying it looks like this:
HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(
"http://sub.domain.com/something/" + someString
);
HttpWebResponse resp = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();
//do something
I'm not quite sure actually but every request seems to resolve the address again (I don't know how to test if I'm right). I would like to boost it a little and resolve the address once and then reuse it for all requests. I can't work out how to force HttpRequest into using it, though.
I have tried using Dns.GetHostAddresses, converting the result to a string and passing it as the address to HttpWebRequest.Create. Unfortunately, server returns error 404 then. I managed to google that's probably because the "Host" header of the http query doesn't match what the server expects.
Is there a simple way to solve this?
