Choosing which IP the HTTP request is using when having multiple IPs (.NET)
I am writing a .NET program which will run on a computer with several IP addresses. The program makes HTTP requests to given web addresses. I want to choose which IP address I use (so I can determine which IP address will appear on the log of the other server).
Suggestions?
I believe you can force the local endpoint by providing a BindIPEndPointDelegate
which supplies the IP/port to bind to.
string sendingIp = "192.168.0.1";
int sendingPort = 5000;
Uri uri = new Uri("http://google.com");
HttpWebRequest wr = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
ServicePoint sp = ServicePointManager.FindServicePoint(uri);
sp.BindIPEndPointDelegate =
(servicePoint,remoteEp,retryCount) =>
{
return new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse(sendingIp),sendingPort);
};
var data = new StreamReader(wr.GetResponse().GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd();
This code doesn't deal with disposal correctly.
