WebResponse

WebResponse

 encapsulates a response that is obtained as the result of a request. 

WebResponse

is an abstract class. Inheriting classes create specific, concrete versions of it that support a 

protocol. A 

WebResponse

 object is normally obtained by calling the 

GetResponse( )

 method 

defined by 

WebRequest

. This object will be an instance of a concrete class derived from 

WebResponse

 that implements a specific protocol. The methods defined by 

WebResponse

that are most commonly used are shown in Table 25-3. The properties defined by 

WebResponse

are shown in Table 25-4. The values of these properties are set based on each individual 

response. 

WebResponse

 defines no public constructors.
