Pinging a Web service in .net
This is for pinging to an IP address .So my doubt is that how can we ping a web service like this ?
As far as I know, we can ping against only an IP Address, not with URL. so what we can do is just make use of HttpWebrequest class to achieve the same. the below console program is used to sniff the site.
IPAddress ip = IPAddress.Parse(txtPingEnter.Text);
Ping p = new Ping();
PingReply pr = p.Send(ip);
//txtPingResult.Text = pr.ToString();
txtPingResult.Text += pr.Status.ToString();
txtPingResult.Text += pr.RoundtripTime.ToString();

// *** Set properties
loHttp.Timeout = 10000; // 10 secs
// pass Proxy string and bypass local machine if required.
WebProxy loProxy = new WebProxy("http://proxyaddress",true);
loProxy.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username","password");
loHttp.Proxy = loProxy;
// *** Retrieve request info headers
HttpWebResponse loWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse) loHttp.GetResponse();
loWebResponse.Close();
Console.WriteLine("Success ");
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("Error : " + ex.Message);
}
}
