cookies handling on webrequest and response
- by manish patel
I have created a application that has a function mainpost. It is created to post data on a https sites. Here I want to handle cookies in this function. How can I do this task?
public string Mainpost(string website, string content)
{
// this is what we are sending
string post_data = content;
// this is where we will send it
string uri = website;
// create a request
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)
WebRequest.Create(uri); request.KeepAlive = false;
request.ProtocolVersion = HttpVersion.Version10;
request.Method = "POST";
// turn our request string into a byte stream
byte[] postBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(post_data);
// this is important - make sure you specify type this way
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
request.ContentLength = postBytes.Length;
Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream();
// now send it
requestStream.Write(postBytes, 0, postBytes.Length);
requestStream.Close();
// grab te response and print it out to the console along with the status
// code
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
string str = (new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd());
Console.WriteLine(response.StatusCode);
return str;
}
