HttpWebRequest Date Header inclusion problem

Question

I am using HTTP Web Request.  It generally works fine, but I cannot set the date Header.
If I try to set the Header manually, I get the error;
"This header must be modified using the appropriate property."

The help files state the date header is set by the system but I cannot work out how to trigger its inclusion.

 

The end result is a POST request with no date Header

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

The current implementation doesn't allow you to add this header to the request.  We will consider removing this restriction for the next release of the product.

Answer 2

is the Date Header actually being sent while using HTTPWebRequest?

or it is empty and not sent by the system either?

Answer 3

No Date Header was present in my tests

Answer 4

thanks, Edvard. in my tests either. to my understanding this is not resolvable on HTTP level and Microsoft is not gonna do anything about this? Seems the only solutionis to use TCPIPClient and SSLStream (in case of a secured socket)

Answer 5

Sorry, Edmund, for misspelling the name

Answer 6

Hi,

 

I am facing the same problem as you guys already posted. Please help me out to solve "Date" header problem for WebRequest object or guide me if you have any workaround/alternative for this problem. It is a MUST field for my application and I am badly in need of response.

 

Thanks in advance.
