Example

The following example compares the status returned by a System.Net.HttpWebResponse with a System.Net.HttpStatusCode value to determine the status of the response.

C# Example

using System;
using System.Net;

public class HttpStatusCodeExample {

   public static void Main() {
      string serverName = "http://www.contoso.com";
      HttpWebRequest httpReq = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(serverName);
      httpReq.AllowAutoRedirect = false;
      HttpWebResponse httpRes = (HttpWebResponse) httpReq.GetResponse();
      if (httpRes.StatusCode==HttpStatusCode.Found) {    
          Console.WriteLine("Request for {0} was redirected.", serverName);
      }
   }
}

The output is

Request for http://www.contoso.com was redirected.
