HttpWebResponse myHttpWebResponse=(HttpWebResponse)myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse();

' Create a 'HttpWebRequest' object.
Dim myHttpWebRequest As HttpWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(myUri)
' Set the 'Accept' property to accept an image of any type.
myHttpWebRequest.Accept = "image/*"

Dim myHttpWebResponse As HttpWebResponse = CType(myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)

Remarks

Caution

WebRequest, HttpWebRequest, ServicePoint, and WebClient are obsolete, and you shouldn't use them for new development. Use HttpClient instead.

To clear the Accept HTTP header, set the Accept property to null.

Note

The value for this property is stored in WebHeaderCollection. If WebHeaderCollection is set, the property value is lost.
