Get query string from a http response

If I copy and past the following URL in the browser, I get a response URL with a query string sessionid in it:

https://abc.abcdefg.com/abcd/sessionServlet

I am trying to capture that response URL and session id in my code behind in .net:

        string url = "https://abc.abcdefg.com/abcd/sessionServlet";

        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
        HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

        Label1.Text = response.ResponseUri.ToString();

the response.ResponseUri contains my original URL, but not the response URL I get back from the sessionServlet.

Could anyone help me? Thank you in advance.

Looking at your comment about the http://devserver/myproject/login.aspx?sessionid=1341351j1oij4o1i3o13i5ho1i3j4134o URL appearing the browser from vising the URL https://abc.abcdefg.com/abcd/sessionServlet, you're probably being redirected using HTTP 301 or 302.

If so, I'd add request.AllowAutoRedirect = true MSDN which will allow your web request to follow that redirect. Then response.ResponseUri.Query should have the querystring that you're looking for.
