HTTP Custom Request Headers

Download: Chilkat .NET Assemblies

C# programming example showing how to add custom HTTP request headers to all HTTP requests sent via the QuickGet and QuickGetStr methods.

Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();
bool unlocked = http.UnlockComponent("Any string begins 30-day trial");
if (!unlocked)
{
    MessageBox.Show("Failed to unlock HTTP component");
    return;
}

// Add custom HTTP request headers to each HTTP GET request sent
// via the QuickGet and QuickGetStr methods.
// SetRequestHeader will replace the header if it already exists.
http.SetRequestHeader("Custom1","This is the content for a custom header");
http.SetRequestHeader("Custom2","Another custom header for the HTTP request");

// NOTE: Do not confuse HTTP request header fields with URL query parameters --
// they are separate.

// Fetch an HTML page.
string htmlPage = http.QuickGetStr("http://www.example-code.com/");

if (htmlPage == null)
{
    MessageBox.Show(http.LastErrorText);
}
else
{
    textBox1.Text = htmlPage;
}
