Getting Http Status code number (200, 301, 404, etc.) from HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse
Solution 1
Console.Write((int)response.StatusCode);
HttpStatusCode (the type of response.StatusCode
) is an enumeration where the values of the members match the HTTP status codes, e.g.
public enum HttpStatusCode
{
...
Moved = 301,
OK = 200,
Redirect = 302,
...
}
Solution 2
You have to be careful, server responses in the range of 4xx and 5xx throw a WebException. You need to catch it, and then get status code from a WebException object:
try
{
wResp = (HttpWebResponse)wReq.GetResponse();
wRespStatusCode = wResp.StatusCode;
}
catch (WebException we)
{
wRespStatusCode = ((HttpWebResponse)we.Response).StatusCode;
}
Solution 3
As per 'dtb' you need to use HttpStatusCode, but following 'zeldi' you need to be extra careful with code responses >= 400.
This has worked for me:
HttpWebResponse response = null;
HttpStatusCode statusCode;
try
{
response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
}
catch (WebException we)
{
response = (HttpWebResponse)we.Response;
}
statusCode = response.StatusCode;
Stream dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
sResponse = reader.ReadToEnd();
Console.WriteLine(sResponse);
Console.WriteLine("Response Code: " + (int)statusCode + " - " + statusCode.ToString());
Solution 4
Just coerce the StatusCode
to int
.
var statusNumber;
try {
response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
// This will have statii from 200 to 30x
statusNumber = (int)response.StatusCode;
}
catch (WebException we) {
// Statii 400 to 50x will be here
statusNumber = (int)we.Response.StatusCode;
}
Solution 5
//Response being your httpwebresponse
Dim str_StatusCode as String = CInt(Response.StatusCode)
Console.Writeline(str_StatusCode)

I am trying to get the HTTP status code number from the
HttpWebResponse
object returned from aHttpWebRequest
. I was hoping to get the actual numbers (200, 301,302, 404, etc.) rather than the text description. ("Ok", "MovedPermanently", etc.) Is the number buried in a property somewhere in the response object? Any ideas other than creating a big switch function? Thanks.HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest .Create("http://www.gooogle.com/"); webRequest.AllowAutoRedirect = false; HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)webRequest.GetResponse(); //Returns "MovedPermanently", not 301 which is what I want. Console.Write(response.StatusCode.ToString());
