HTTP请求未获得响应

Question

I'm trying to send an HTTP request to of the form :

GET /api/content/v1/parser?url=http://blog.readability.com/2011/02/step-up-be-heard-readability-ideas/&token=1b830931777ac7c2ac954e9f0d67df437175e66e

The website I'm trying to communicate with is www.readability.com

I've been trying to use the following request:

string readabilityUrl = "http://www.readability.com";
string requestUrl = createRequestUrl(articleUrl);

// Create http request send to readability api
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(readabilityUrl + requestUrl);

var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(readabilityUrl);
var postData = requestUrl;
var postReqData = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(postData);
request.Method = "POST";

using (var stream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
    stream.Write(postReqData, 0, postReqData.Length);
}

var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
var responseString = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd();

System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(responseString);

But all it does is getting the html content of www.readaility.com instead of returning the relevant data I actually need.

I guess I don't send the right parameters and I'd be thankful if you could help me out and point me to the solution.

Answer 1

1. Check if you are getting HTML because you are being redirected from your target (HTTP 302). Check the content you are getting, maybe it contains an error about lacking credentials or that the resource does not exist.

2. Note you are creating a POST request, but the example you put at the beginning is a GET request.

3. You should encode the url you are using as parameter with HttpUtility.UrlEncode(url)
