webclient

I have an HttpClient that is shared across multiple threads: public static class Connection { public static HttpClient Client { get; } static Connection() { Client = new HttpClient { BaseAddress = new Uri(Config.APIUri) }; Client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Connection", "Keep-Alive"); Client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Keep-Alive", "timeout=600"); Client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json")); } } It has some default headers I put onto each request. However, when I use it, I want to add on a header for just that request: var client = Connection

Behold the code: using (var client = new WebClient()) { try { var bytesReceived = client.UploadData("http://localhost", bytesToPost); var response = client.Encoding.GetString(bytesReceived); } catch (Exception ex) { } } I am getting this HTTP 500 internal server error when the UploadData method is called. But I can't see the error description anywhere in the "ex" object while debugging. How do I rewrite this code so I can read the error description? Web servers often return an error page with more details (either HTML or plain text depending on the server). You can grab this by catching

I'm looking to download Google Trends data from URLs that I create via code. These URLs, when put into the browser (I use firefox) show a save prompt where I can choose to open or save the file when looking through the browser. However, I am hoping to the the same .csv file containing the Google Trends data via code, and I am stuck. Here is one of the links that my code creates: [Does prompt to download, however is is Google] https://www.google.com/trends/trendsReport?hl=en-US&q=debt&geo=US&date=now%207-d&cmpt=q&content=1&export=1 I have two issues with this link, It either downloads a .csv

I am writing a program which retrieves some data from a server, does some operations on it, and saves the output to a csv file. The problem I have is that the server (which I am not responsible for) ALWAYS returns an HTTP 500 internal server error. I have spoken to the team who look after it, and while they're aware of the bug they've said it's not impacting enough for them to resolve. Is there a way for me to ignore this response in my code and still get at the data? If you're using HttpWebRequest/Response, this should get you started: response = null; try { HttpWebRequest request =

I am using WebClient's DownloadFileAsync (in C#) method to download files asynchronously. I have event handlers attached to DownloadProgressChanged and DownloadFileCompleted events. I hoped to get notified of any errors through AsyncCompletedEventArgs's Error property in the DownloadFileCompleted event handler. It works well if the connection is not present before the download begins. It craps out with proper error and I get the error in the property I mentioned above. But if the connection drops while the download is in progress nothing happens. The event handler is not called, it keeps

I'm calling a webservice from a WinForms app. Everything works fine when a proxy server isn't in use, however when a proxy is being used, the app crashes as instead of the XML response it's expecting for the SOAP request, it gets an HTML error page saying "Authentication Required". It seems you can set the proxy manually like this: WebClient client = new WebClient(); WebProxy wp = new WebProxy("proxy server url here"); client.Proxy = wp; ...but to some extent, it seems to be seeing the proxy server anyway WITHOUT doing the above, as the error generated is actually coming from the proxy server.
