如何更改.NET WebClient对象上的超时

我正在尝试（以编程方式）将客户端的数据下载到本地计算机，并且他们的Web服务器非常非常慢，这导致我的WebClient对象超时。

这是我的代码：

WebClient webClient = new WebClient();

webClient.Encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
webClient.DownloadFile(downloadUrl, downloadFile);

有没有办法对此对象设置无限超时？否则，如果没有人可以通过替代方法帮助我举例说明呢？

该URL在浏览器中可以正常工作-仅显示3分钟即可显示。

您可以延长超时时间：继承原始的WebClient类并重写webrequest getter来设置自己的超时时间，如以下示例所示。

在我的案例中，MyWebClient是一个私有类：

private class MyWebClient : WebClient
{
    protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri uri)
    {
        WebRequest w = base.GetWebRequest(uri);
        w.Timeout = 20 * 60 * 1000;
        return w;
    }
}

第一个解决方案对我不起作用，但是这里有一些对我有用的代码。

    private class WebClient : System.Net.WebClient
    {
        public int Timeout { get; set; }

        protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri uri)
        {
            WebRequest lWebRequest = base.GetWebRequest(uri);
            lWebRequest.Timeout = Timeout;
            ((HttpWebRequest)lWebRequest).ReadWriteTimeout = Timeout;
            return lWebRequest;
        }
    }

    private string GetRequest(string aURL)
    {
        using (var lWebClient = new WebClient())
        {
            lWebClient.Timeout = 600 * 60 * 1000;
            return lWebClient.DownloadString(aURL);
        }
    }

您需要使用HttpWebRequest而不是，WebClient因为您不能在WebClient不延长超时的情况下设置超时时间（即使它使用HttpWebRequest）。使用HttpWebRequest代替将允许您设置超时。

拔出网络电缆时，无法使w.Timeout代码正常工作，只是没有超时，转而使用HttpWebRequest并立即开始工作。

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(downloadUrl);
request.Timeout = 10000;
request.ReadWriteTimeout = 10000;
var wresp = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

using (Stream file = File.OpenWrite(downloadFile))
{
    wresp.GetResponseStream().CopyTo(file);
}

为了完整起见，这是kisp的解决方案移植到VB（无法在注释中添加代码）

Namespace Utils

''' <summary>
''' Subclass of WebClient to provide access to the timeout property
''' </summary>
Public Class WebClient
    Inherits System.Net.WebClient

    Private _TimeoutMS As Integer = 0

    Public Sub New()
        MyBase.New()
    End Sub
    Public Sub New(ByVal TimeoutMS As Integer)
        MyBase.New()
        _TimeoutMS = TimeoutMS
    End Sub
    ''' <summary>
    ''' Set the web call timeout in Milliseconds
    ''' </summary>
    ''' <value></value>
    Public WriteOnly Property setTimeout() As Integer
        Set(ByVal value As Integer)
            _TimeoutMS = value
        End Set
    End Property


    Protected Overrides Function GetWebRequest(ByVal address As System.Uri) As System.Net.WebRequest
        Dim w As System.Net.WebRequest = MyBase.GetWebRequest(address)
        If _TimeoutMS <> 0 Then
            w.Timeout = _TimeoutMS
        End If
        Return w
    End Function

End Class

End Namespace

正如Sohnee所说，使用System.Net.HttpWebRequest和设置Timeout属性而不是使用System.Net.WebClient。

但是，您无法设置无限的超时值（不支持该值，尝试这样做会抛出ArgumentOutOfRangeException）。

我建议先执行一个HEAD HTTP请求，然后检查Content-Length返回的标头值，以确定要下载的文件中的字节数，然后为后续GET请求相应地设置超时值，或者简单地指定一个很长的超时值永远不要期望超过。

'CORRECTED VERSION OF LAST FUNCTION IN VISUAL BASIC BY GLENNG

Protected Overrides Function GetWebRequest(ByVal address As System.Uri) As System.Net.WebRequest
            Dim w As System.Net.WebRequest = MyBase.GetWebRequest(address)
            If _TimeoutMS <> 0 Then
                w.Timeout = _TimeoutMS
            End If
            Return w  '<<< NOTICE: MyBase.GetWebRequest(address) DOES NOT WORK >>>
        End Function

对于任何需要WebClient且超时适用于异步/任务方法的用户，建议的解决方案将不起作用。这是有效的方法：

public class WebClientWithTimeout : WebClient
{
    //10 secs default
    public int Timeout { get; set; } = 10000;

    //for sync requests
    protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri uri)
    {
        var w = base.GetWebRequest(uri);
        w.Timeout = Timeout; //10 seconds timeout
        return w;
    }

    //the above will not work for async requests :(
    //let's create a workaround by hiding the method
    //and creating our own version of DownloadStringTaskAsync
    public new async Task<string> DownloadStringTaskAsync(Uri address)
    {
        var t = base.DownloadStringTaskAsync(address);
        if(await Task.WhenAny(t, Task.Delay(Timeout)) != t) //time out!
        {
            CancelAsync();
        }
        return await t;
    }
}

我在这里写了完整的解决方法

用法：

using (var client = new TimeoutWebClient(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10)))
{
    return await client.DownloadStringTaskAsync(url).ConfigureAwait(false);
}

类：

using System;
using System.Net;

namespace Utilities
{
    public class TimeoutWebClient : WebClient
    {
        public TimeSpan Timeout { get; set; }

        public TimeoutWebClient(TimeSpan timeout)
        {
            Timeout = timeout;
        }

        protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri uri)
        {
            var request = base.GetWebRequest(uri);
            if (request == null)
            {
                return null;
            }

            var timeoutInMilliseconds = (int) Timeout.TotalMilliseconds;

            request.Timeout = timeoutInMilliseconds;
            if (request is HttpWebRequest httpWebRequest)
            {
                httpWebRequest.ReadWriteTimeout = timeoutInMilliseconds;
            }

            return request;
        }
    }
}

但我建议使用更现代的解决方案：

using System;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

public static async Task<string> ReadGetRequestDataAsync(Uri uri, TimeSpan? timeout = null, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
{
    using var source = CancellationTokenSource.CreateLinkedTokenSource(cancellationToken);
    if (timeout != null)
    {
        source.CancelAfter(timeout.Value);
    }

    using var client = new HttpClient();
    using var response = await client.GetAsync(uri, source.Token).ConfigureAwait(false);

    return await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);
}

OperationCanceledException超时后将抛出一个。

在某些情况下，有必要将用户代理添加到标题中：

WebClient myWebClient = new WebClient();
myWebClient.DownloadFile(myStringWebResource, fileName);
myWebClient.Headers["User-Agent"] = "Mozilla/4.0 (Compatible; Windows NT 5.1; MSIE 6.0) (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)";

这是我的情况的解决方案。
