Access the HTTP Response from a Web Browser control

1 New Member
I'm trying to get the HTTP Response header out of a WebBrowser control so I can figure out what type of document it is, specifically RSS versus HTML.

I tried using WebBrowser.Docu mentType, but the return value of that seems dependent on your default program settings (as HTML documents show up as "Firefox Document" for me), and I also do not want to just assume that all "XML Document"s are RSS feeds.

I also tried using the XML parser to parse the document to see if the root tag was <html> or <rss> but the "DocumentTe xt" and "DocumentStream " properties return the formatted data, which is a HTML document regardless because of the way IE formats XML documents.

Lastly, I tried manually using a HttpWebRequest object to download the response manually, and then copying the response stream in to the "DocumentTe xt" property, but the browser was still on "about:blan k" so that screwed up all of the relative linking on sites.

The only other thing I can think of is to send a http "head" request to get the response header before navigating with the web browser, but it seems like that causes unnecessary network traffic.

Hello, I've got a text-based .inc file that I'm using for my asp.net site's header. I thought about a user control, but if possible, I'd like to avoid it for simplicity's sake. In the main page, I do a response.writefile("header.inc") for inserting the header. I have one render block: <%= User.Identity.Name %> Unfortunately, it seems that this is outputted as literal text to the browser. I've tried a user control, but it doesn't seem...

What is the best way to implement a front end for an access database via a web browser on a private intranet? This is totally new ground for me. I want to allow users to enter information into a database and get reports via the normal browser interface. How secure is this? If the browser has access to the access application, do the users then have rights to that directory that would allow them to reach the database itself?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
