Add custom header in HttpWebRequest

Question

I need to add some custom headers to the HttpWebRequest object. How can I add Custom Header to HttpWebRequest object in Windows Phone 7.

Answer 1

You use the Headers property with a string index:

request.Headers["X-My-Custom-Header"] = "the-value";

According to MSDN, this has been available since:

• Universal Windows Platform 4.5
• .NET Framework 1.1
• Portable Class Library
• Silverlight 2.0
• Windows Phone Silverlight 7.0
• Windows Phone 8.1
