How to send lower-case Keep-Alive header through HttpWebRequest

Question

I\'m writing a bot, which should emulate firefox as closely as possible. By examining the headers that it is sending, I\'ve found one minor difference, that I do not know ho

Answer 1

In .net 4.0 this works:

request.Headers.GetType().InvokeMember(
    "ChangeInternal",
    BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.InvokeMethod,
    Type.DefaultBinder, 
    request.Headers, 
    new object[] { "Connection", "keep-alive" }
);

Just be sure you don't actually set the KeepAlive property on the request
