Hi all,

In windows form applicatio, I am trying to check whether the url provided is http or https.

for that I have a url provided by the user.

I want to check the url using:

HttpContext.Current.Request.IsSecureConnection

I also want to print the result in a text box or so.

I am finding difficulties in understanding the above line of code.

Thanks in advance.

Try below code:

string url = HTTPUrl_textbox.Text;
var uri = new Uri(url);
url_HTTPStatus_textbox.Text = uri.Scheme.ToString();

In order to get http or https no need to use the below line:

HttpContext.Current.Request.IsSecureConnection.ToString();

@sudha: thank you for your reply. I tried your code.

That was my code based on yours:
string url = HTTPUrl_textbox.Text;
           var uri = new Uri(url);
           var requestType = uri.Scheme;


           url_HTTPStatus_textbox.Text = HttpContext.Current.Request.IsSecureConnection.ToString();

Based on the code above, I managed to obtain an unhandeled exception.
I attached a schreenshot of the exception.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Try the below one:
var uri = new Uri(textbox.text);
var requestType= uri.Scheme;
Now checck the requesttype. it will say whether it is http or https.

:Or I want any method that can take a url such as :
https://www.websiteExample.com
or
http://www.websiteExample1.com

Then I want that method to determine whether the website is HTTP or HTTPS based on the provided url.

I entered the url manually from a user through a text box.
UrlTextbox : is the name of the text box where the user provides the url eg.
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com

then I store the text of UrLTextbox in a variable of type string:
string str = UrlTextbox.Text;

now we have str = "http://www.c-sharpcorner.com "

No i what to check whether the website is HTTP or HTTPS based on :

HttpContext.Current.Request.IsSecureConnection

I want a method to take the url, then check whether its HTTP or HTTPS based on
HttpContext.Current.Request.IsSecureConnection

Then I want to print the result out in a Message box.

Hi naem,

Have you entered the URL manually or it is from other place?

Can you share your code?
