.NET Forum / .NET Framework / .NET SDK / December 2005HttpWebRequest Host header
Hi, I use HttpWebRequest to send http requests. I use http version 1.0. The problem is that for each http 1.0 request the framework automatically adds the "Host" header. This header is a must for http 1.1 but NOT for http 1.0 (rfc 1945)! I need to send a http 1.0 request without this header. I tried to delete the header but no success. Is there a way to get rid of it ? [i use .net framework 2.0] Thanks. > Hi, > I use HttpWebRequest to send http requests. I use http version 1.0.

Is it harmful for your destination server? Cheers,  Signaturehttp://www.joergjooss.de mailto:news-reply@joergjooss.de Not for web server but for proxy server. I have a proxy server that acts differently when it gets Host header and when it doesn't. I need to test it both ways of course so right now i can only do one way. Is there anything i can do? if not than i guess i won't continue to use HttpWebRequest class. > > Hi, > > I use HttpWebRequest to send http requests. I use http version 1.0.

It's one of the more annoying limitations of HttpWebRequest :-( OTOH, that proxy shouldn't choke on a Host header either... Cheers, Signaturehttp://www.joergjooss.de mailto:news-reply@joergjooss.de You can craft your own HTTP request and send it using a Socket client... GET /default.htm HTTP/1.0\r\n Host: <host hdr value>\r\n \r\n \r\n And you can repeat that request without the Host header line. And see what the difference is in the proxy's response. what proxy is this, btw? Signatureferoze ----------------- This posting is provided as-is. It offers no warranties and assigns no rights.
