WebClient.DownloadFile方法和HTTPS-这是HTTPS连接吗？

Question

Cutting out a lot of irrelevant information, the basics are that I have a web address like so:

https://dinglydangs.com/download.dll?request=file&name=dunderdata.csv

I am using WebClient.DownloadFile to , well, download the file. I need to know if, because it is an https link, this method is using an HTTPS connection to download the file. If not, what steps would I need to take to ensure an HTTPS connection is used?

Possibly relevant: The link itself is sent to me in an e-mail. No actual authentication is required, I simply navigate to the link and the file downloads.

Answer 1

WebClient will use the protocol specified in the Uri you pass the download method. You don't have to do anything special to make this happen.

You can use a tool like Fiddler to verify this, by checking the connections going out from your machine.
