webrequest

I have a large amount of data (~100k) that my C# app is sending to my Apache server with mod_gzip installed. I'm attempting to gzip the data first using System.IO.Compression.GZipStream. PHP receives the raw gzipped data, so Apache is not uncompressing it as I would expect. Am I missing something? System.Net.WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create(this.Url); req.Method = this.Method; // "post" req.Timeout = this.Timeout; req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"; req.Headers.Add("Content-Encoding: gzip"); System.IO.Stream reqStream = req.GetRequestStream(); GZipStream gz = new

What's the best way to do it in .NET? I always forget what I need to Dispose() (or wrap with using ). EDIT: after a long time using WebRequest , I found out about customizing WebClient . Much better. Syncronous Way: var request = HttpWebRequest.Create("http://www.contoso.com"); request.Timeout = 50000; using (var response = request.GetResponse()) { //your code here } You can also have the asynchronous way: using System; using System.Net; using System.IO; using System.Text; using System.Threading; public class RequestState { // This class stores the State of the request. const int BUFFER_SIZE =

I would like to know if there is a way to know if a server supports resume download functionallity and if supported, how do I send a request to resume? I was looking for a solution where my ASP.NET page can do a download from a server to mine, something like " rapidleech " does today, but I would like to check if the server where i'm requesting the download supports resume functionallity. Resuming files is done by specifying the byte range of the file you would like to download using the Range HTTP header. This can be done in .NET with the HttpWebRequest.AddRange function. For example: request

I have finally started messing around with creating some apps that work with RESTful web interfaces, however, I am concerned that I am hammering their servers every time I hit F5 to run a series of tests.. Basically, I need to get a series of web responses so I can test I am parsing the varying responses correctly, rather than hit their servers every time, I thought I could do this once, save the XML and then work locally. However, I don't see how I can "mock" a WebResponse, since (AFAIK) they can only be instantiated by WebRequest.GetResponse How do you guys go about mocking this sort of

I am trying to download a file from a server using System.Web. It actually works, but some links give me trouble. The links look like this: http://cdn.somesite.com/r1KH3Z%2FaMY6kLQ9Y4nVxYtlfrcewvKO9HLTCUBjU8IBAYnA3vzE1LGrkqMrR9Nh3jTMVFZzC7mxMBeNK5uY3nx5K0MjUaegM3crVpFNGk6a6TW6NJ3hnlvFuaugE65SQ4yM5754BM%2BLagqYvwvLAhG3DKU9SGUI54UAq3dwMDU%2BMl9lUO18hJF3OtzKiQfrC/the_file.ext The code looks basically like this: HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(link); WebResponse response = request.getResponse(); getResponse() always throws an exception (Error 400 Bad Request). However, I
