A mechanism for serving HTTP requests in C#

This is part 4 of the sequel to “How to build a web based user interaction layer in C#“. In this post, I will describe a mechanism that we can use to locate resources to process HTTP requests in C#.

Downloading a file via HTTP post and HTTP get in C#

Previously, I had written two posts on how to upload files to a web server, one for the case when the size of the HTTP request is small, and the other for the case when the size of the HTTP request is large. How about the downloading of files from a web server? In this post, I shall discuss how to download files from a HTTP server via the System.Net.HttpWebRequest class.

Uploading large HTTP multipart request with System.Net.HttpWebRequest in C#

This method of sending our HTTP request will work only if we can restrict the total size of our file and data.

Handling web server communication feedback with System.Net.WebException in C#
