    copied!<p>I am new to WCF and Rest services, and tried to do some implementation from posts I found on the web, but I am still getting some problems. </p> <p>So let me explain my scenario.</p> <p>I have a WPF application, and in it I have a feedback form, which the client can fill up, attach some screenshots, and send it. Now my idea was to gather all this info inside an XML file, which I am already doing successfully, and then uploading this XML file on my server in a particular folder.</p> <p>Now as I understand it, the client app has to have a POST method to post the stream to the server, and then I should have an aspx page on the server to decode back the stream I get from the POST, and formulate my XML file, and then save it inside the folder, correct me if I'm wrong.</p> <p>At the moment I have implemented the code on the client as follows :-</p> <pre><code> public static void UploadFile() { serverPath = "http://localhost:3402/GetResponse.aspx"; filePath = "C:\\Testing\\UploadFile\\UploadFile\\asd_asd_Feedback.xml"; HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(serverPath); //request.MediaType = "text/xml"; request.ContentType = "text/xml"; //request.Method = "POST"; request.Method = "POST"; //request.ContentLength = contentLength; //request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"; using (FileStream fileStream = File.OpenRead(filePath)) using (Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream()) { int bufferSize = 1024; byte[] buffer = new byte[bufferSize]; int byteCount = 0; while ((byteCount = fileStream.Read(buffer, 0, bufferSize)) &gt; 0) { requestStream.Write(buffer, 0, byteCount); } } string result = String.Empty; try { using (WebResponse response = request.GetResponse()) using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())) { result = reader.ReadToEnd(); } } catch (Exception exc) { } if (result == "OK") { } else { // error... } } </code></pre> <p>Now how can I pass the requestStream to the GetResponse.aspx page? And is this the correct way to go?</p> <p>Thanks for your help and time</p>
