This is just a simple class that you can you use to send requests and get the HTML code. I would like to get feedback on this.
For your request you can set:
- URL
- Request method: GET or POST
- Request parameters: if you need to pass parameters
- Request cookie
As a response you will get:
- HTML
- Response cookie
Request
class Request
{
public string Url { get; set; }
public string RequestMethod { get; set; }
public string RequestParameters { get; set; }
public string RequestCookie { get; set; }
public string ResponseCookie { get; private set; }
/// <summary>
/// Send Request To URL
/// </summary>
/// <returns>HTML Text of URL</returns>
public string SendRequest()
{
try
{
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(Url);
request.Method = RequestMethod;
request.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4";
if (RequestCookie != null)
{
request.Headers["Cookie"] = RequestCookie;
}
WebProxy myProxy = new WebProxy("localhost", 8888);
request.Proxy = myProxy;
if (RequestParameters != null)
{
byte[] bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(RequestParameters);
request.ContentLength = bytes.Length;
Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream();
requestStream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
}
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
response.Headers["Set-Cookie"] = ResponseCookie;
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
return reader.ReadToEnd();
}
catch (WebException ex)
{
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(ex.Response.GetResponseStream());
return streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
}
Example
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Request myRequest = new Request();
myRequest.Url = "https://google.com";
myRequest.RequestMethod = "GET";
string html = myRequest.SendRequest();
Console.WriteLine("REQUEST DONE !");
Console.WriteLine(html);
Console.ReadKey();
}
