Additional scripting classes

The following classes replace the previous version of HTTP web requests and responses.

Example: Old request and response format
Previously you would use:
  • System.Net.HttpWebRequest request = (System.Net.HttpWebRequest) System.Net.WebRequest.Create( url ); to make the request.
  • System.Net.HttpWebResponse response = (System.Net.HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse(); for the response. 

//REQUEST                           
System.Net.HttpWebRequest request = (System.Net.HttpWebRequest) System.Net.WebRequest.Create( url );
request.Method = "POST";
request.Accept = "application/json";
request.ContentType = "application/json";
request.ContentLength = dataArray.Length;

//if (needAuth) request.Headers["Authorization"] = "Basic ";

// OUTPUT
System.IO.Stream outputStream = request.GetRequestStream();
outputStream.Write(dataArray, 0, dataArray.Length);
outputStream.Close();

// RESPONSE
System.Net.HttpWebResponse response = (System.Net.HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse();  
System.IO.StreamReader inputStream = new System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream(), System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(1252));

// PROCESS
string readData = inputStream.ReadToEnd();
Example: New request and response format
Going forward, replace:
  • SafeHttpWebRequest request = new SafeHttpWebRequest( url ); to make the request.
  • SafeHttpWebResponse response = request.GetSafeResponse(); for the response. 

// REQUEST                          
SafeHttpWebRequest request = new SafeHttpWebRequest( url );
request.Method = "POST";
request.Accept = "application/json";
request.ContentType = "application/json";
request.ContentLength = dataArray.Length;

//if (needAuth) request.Headers["Authorization"] = "Basic ";

// OUTPUT
System.IO.Stream outputStream = request.GetRequestStream();
outputStream.Write(dataArray, 0, dataArray.Length);
outputStream.Close();

// RESPONSE
SafeHttpWebResponse response = request.GetSafeResponse();  
System.IO.StreamReader inputStream = new System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream(), System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(1252));

// PROCESS
string readData = inputStream.ReadToEnd();
