How to cast between WebRequest and HttpWebRequest
I was trying to open a website that returns a session cookie from X++ and I wanted to use CLR interop to achieve this.
So I needed to know how to use instance of HttpWebResponse class when X++ does not support casting from WebResponse class.
Solution is to use CLRObject to cast between WebRequest and HttpWebRequest.
static void Job_1(Args _args)
{
System.Net.HttpWebRequest httpRequest = null;
System.Net.HttpWebResponse httpResponse = null;
System.Net.CookieCollection cookies = null;
CLRObject clro = null;
;
new InteropPermission(InteropKind::ClrInterop).assert();
clro = System.Net.WebRequest::Create(“http://www.url.com/authenticate”);
httpRequest = clro;
httpResponse = httpRequest.GetResponse();
cookies = httpResponse.get_Cookies();
clro = System.Net.WebRequest::Create(“http://www.url.com/”);
httpRequest = clro;
httpResponse.set_Cookies(cookies);
httpResponse = httpRequest.GetResponse();
}
{
System.Net.HttpWebRequest httpRequest = null;
System.Net.HttpWebResponse httpResponse = null;
System.Net.CookieCollection cookies = null;
CLRObject clro = null;
;
new InteropPermission(InteropKind::ClrInterop).assert();
clro = System.Net.WebRequest::Create(“http://www.url.com/authenticate”);
httpRequest = clro;
httpResponse = httpRequest.GetResponse();
cookies = httpResponse.get_Cookies();
clro = System.Net.WebRequest::Create(“http://www.url.com/”);
httpRequest = clro;
httpResponse.set_Cookies(cookies);
httpResponse = httpRequest.GetResponse();
}
