C# 在为（404）文件引发异常之前处理HttpWebResponse未找到

在为未找到的（404）文件引发异常之前，是否有任何方法可以处理

HttpWebResponse.GetResponse（）

我有大量的图片要下载，使用Try..catch处理未找到文件的异常会使性能非常差

private bool Download(string url, string destination)
 {
     try
     {
            if (RemoteFileExists("http://www.example.com/FileNotFound.png")
            {
                   WebClient downloader = new WebClient();
                         downloader.DownloadFile(url, destination);
                         return true;
            }
     }
     catch(WebException webEx)
     {
     }
     return false;
 }

private bool RemoteFileExists(string url)
{
    try
    {
        //Creating the HttpWebRequest
        HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url) as HttpWebRequest;
        //Setting the Request method HEAD, you can also use GET too.
        request.Method = "HEAD";
        //Getting the Web Response.
        //Here is my question, When the image's not there, 
//the following line will throw an exception, How to avoid that?
        HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse;
        //Returns TURE if the Status code == 200
        return (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK);
    }
    catch
    {
        //Any exception will returns false.
        return false;
    }
}

您可以使用，它不会在404上引发异常：

HttpClient c = new HttpClient();

var resp = await c.SendAsync(new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Head, "http://www.google.com/abcde"));

bool ok = resp.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK;

使用<代码> HTTPcli客< /代码>发送<代码>异步> <代码>请求将解决（404文件未找到）的异常，因此我将它视为对这个问题的回答，然而，我想在这里分享我的性能测试。我已经测试了以下两种方法来下载50000张图像：

方法1

try
{
    // I will not check at all and let the the exception happens
    downloader.DownloadFile(url, destination);
    return true;
}
catch(WebException webEx)
{
}

方法2

try
{
    // Using HttpClient to avoid the 404 exception
    HttpClient c = new HttpClient();

    var resp = await c.SendAsync(new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Head,
            "http://www.example.com/img.jpg"));

    if (resp.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
    {
        downloader.DownloadFile(url, destination);
        return true;
    }
}
catch(WebException webEx)
{
}

在我的测试中，要下载的50000个图像中有144个图像不可用，方法1的性能比方法2快3倍
