Gets or sets the maximum number of redirects that the request follows.

public:
 property int MaximumAutomaticRedirections { int get(); void set(int value); };

public int MaximumAutomaticRedirections { get; set; }

member this.MaximumAutomaticRedirections : int with get, set

Public Property MaximumAutomaticRedirections As Integer

Property Value

Int32

The maximum number of redirection responses that the request follows. The default value is 50.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

The value is set to 0 or less.

Examples

The following code example sets the value of this property.

#using <System.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Net;
using namespace System::Text;
using namespace System::IO;

// Specify the URL to receive the request.
int main()
{
   array<String^>^args = Environment::GetCommandLineArgs();
   HttpWebRequest^ request = dynamic_cast<HttpWebRequest^>(WebRequest::Create(args[1]));

   // Set some reasonable limits on resources used by this request
   request->MaximumAutomaticRedirections = 4;
   request->MaximumResponseHeadersLength = 4;

   // Set credentials to use for this request.
   request->Credentials = CredentialCache::DefaultCredentials;
   HttpWebResponse^ response = dynamic_cast<HttpWebResponse^>(request->GetResponse());
   Console::WriteLine("Content length is {0}", response->ContentLength);
   Console::WriteLine("Content type is {0}", response->ContentType);

   // Get the stream associated with the response.
   Stream^ receiveStream = response->GetResponseStream();

   // Pipes the stream to a higher level stream reader with the required encoding format.
   StreamReader^ readStream = gcnew StreamReader(receiveStream, Encoding::UTF8);
   Console::WriteLine("Response stream received.");
   Console::WriteLine(readStream->ReadToEnd());
   response->Close();
   readStream->Close();
}

/*
The output from this example will vary depending on the value passed into Main
but will be similar to the following:

Content length is 1542
Content type is text/html; charset=utf-8
Response stream received.
<html>
...
</html>

Remarks

Caution

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

The MaximumAutomaticRedirections property sets the maximum number of redirections for the request to follow if the AllowAutoRedirect property is true.
