I must get the Content-Type of an URL using .NET.
However, it's returning text/html
for this URL, while Postman returns the correct Content-Type video/mp4
. For several others file URLs, .NET returns the correct Content-Type, but not for this.
My code:
string uriString = "INSERT_URL_HERE";
HttpClient httpClient = new();
try
{
HttpRequestMessage request = new(HttpMethod.Head, uriString);
HttpResponseMessage response = await httpClient.SendAsync(request);
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
string contentType = response.Content.Headers.ContentType.ToString();
Console.WriteLine("\nThe Content-Type of the resource is: {0}\n", contentType);
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
Console.WriteLine("\nException caught!");
Console.WriteLine("Message: {0}\n", exception.Message);
}
Postman response:
The problem was that the User-Agent
header was not being sent, as @DiplomacyNotWar stated. After setting the User-Agent
header value it worked!
PS: I used the same User-Agent
of Google Chrome.
string browserUserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/103.0.0.0 Safari/537.36";
request.Headers.Add("User-Agent", browserUserAgent);
