POHow to read ConnectStream in HttpWebReqest
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm running into a wall when trying to read underlying streams of either HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse classes. As it turns out, these are not memory streams; they are of type ConnectStream. The problem with this type of stream is that it doesn't support reading, writing, seeking, nothing. Every time I try to do something with this type of stream I get not supported exceptions.</p> <p>Is there a way to use some other type of stream in place of ConnectStream that would actually be readable?</p> <p>Code:</p> <pre><code>public class BaseAsmxProxy : SoapHttpClientProtocol { protected override System.Xml.XmlReader GetReaderForMessage(SoapClientMessage message, int bufferSize) { string responseXml = GetResponseDataFromStream(message.Stream); return base.GetReaderForMessage(message, bufferSize); } private string GetResponseDataFromStream(System.IO.Stream stream) { string returnValue = null; long initialPosition = stream.Position; stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin); StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream); returnValue = reader.ReadToEnd(); stream.Seek(initialPosition, SeekOrigin.Begin); return returnValue; } } </code></pre> <p>Note that when I use a SoapExtension (for some other functionality) it switches stream types and I inadvertently get MemoryStream here that is actually readable - which is exactly what I need. However, I'll have to turn off SoapExtentensions at some point and that's where the problems start to occur: ConnectStream is simply not readable.</p>
