Question

Hi,

I am trying to access a website programatically using Httpwebrequest.

I have set KeepAlive = true but it is missing in header when the url is redirected.

Please let me know how to persist it.

My code:

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(sWebAddress);
            request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "pwd", "domain");
            CookieContainer cookieJar = new CookieContainer();
            request.CookieContainer = cookieJar;            
            request.Accept = "*/*";
            request.Headers.Add("Accept-Language", "en-us");
            request.Headers.Add("Accept-Encoding", "gzip, deflate");
            request.KeepAlive = true;           
            request.UserAgent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; .NET CLR 3.5.21022)";
            
            // Get the response.
            WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();

            Stream dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
            // Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.
            StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
            // Read the content.
            responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();            
            // Clean up the streams.
            reader.Close();
            dataStream.Close();
            response.Close();

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Rajiv.
