《C# 爬虫 破境之道》：第一境 爬虫原理 — 第三节：WebResponse

第二节中，我们介绍了WebRequest，它可以帮助我们发送一个请求，不过正所谓“来而不往非礼也”，对方收到我们的请求，不给点回复，貌似不太合适（不过，还真有脸皮厚的：P）。

接下来，就重点研究一下，我们收到的回复，是个什么样的东东

[Code 1.3.1]

相比较WebRequest而言，WebResponse简单许多，这里就不再分解片断讲解了。有事儿说事儿，不要以貌取人：D

首先，与WebRequest的类似，它还是抽象类，两个构造函数的结构，一票子虚属性，大部分都是只读的，和一票子虚方法。

其次，与WebRequest不同，它继承了System.IDisposable接口，提醒我们啊，用完了，要释放啊~~~~~~

几个属性

[Code 1.3.2]

        /// <summary>
        /// 只读，指示这个回复是不是从缓存中获取的
        /// </summary>
        public virtual bool IsFromCache { get; }
        /// <summary>
        /// 只读，指示是否发生相互认证
        /// </summary>
        public virtual bool IsMutuallyAuthenticated { get; }
        /// <summary>
        /// 指示收到的数据长度
        /// </summary>
        public virtual long ContentLength { get; set; }
        /// <summary>
        /// 指示收到的内容类型
        /// </summary>
        public virtual string ContentType { get; set; }
        /// <summary>
        /// 只读，指示收到的实际资源URI
        /// </summary>
        public virtual Uri ResponseUri { get; }
        /// <summary>
        /// 只读，Header集合，HTTP协议中的重点
        /// </summary>
        public virtual WebHeaderCollection Headers { get; }
        /// <summary>
        /// 只读，指示是否支持Header集合
        /// </summary>
        public virtual bool SupportsHeaders { get; }

重要的属性有Headers、ContentType、ContentLength。对于分析数据都是举足轻重的。

几个方法

[Code 1.3.3]

        /// <summary>
        /// 获得目标资源的数据流
        /// </summary>
        public virtual Stream GetResponseStream();
        /// <summary>
        /// 关闭Response流
        /// </summary>
        public virtual void Close();
        /// <summary>
        /// 释放WebResponse对象
        /// </summary>
        public void Dispose();
        /// <summary>
        /// 释放WebResponse对象
        /// </summary>
        protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing);
        /// <summary>
        /// 使用序列化目标对象所需的数据填充System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo
        /// </summary>
        protected virtual void GetObjectData(SerializationInfo serializationInfo, StreamingContext streamingContext);

重要的方法有GetResponseStream、Close。对于获取数据至关重要。

总而言之，WebResponse还是比较简单的，给我们留下的坑不多。与WebRequest的讲解一样，干嚼无味，还是在实例中体会个中滋味吧：P
