HttpWebRequest And System.IO.Stream?
Sep 29, 2010Dim request As HttpWebRequest = DirectCast(HttpWebRequest.Create(url), HttpWebRequest)
Using stream As System.IO.Stream = request.GetResponse().GetResponseStream()
Dim request As HttpWebRequest = DirectCast(HttpWebRequest.Create(url), HttpWebRequest)
Using stream As System.IO.Stream = request.GetResponse().GetResponseStream()
I have created a httpwebrequest connection to a streaming API after trying a tTCPClient which just never ended up working. My concern is whether my code is correct and that I am actually reading in new data and that the connection is maintained. Initially I had been reading into a buffer and just loaded everything into a file after max size, but figured it would be simpler to read a line, since each entry was being sent delimited by line feeds.
rStream = webrequest.GetResponse().GetResponseStream
rStream = New GZipStream(rStream, CompressionMode.Decompress)
If rStream.CanRead then
[code]....
It looks like I am continuously reading and not sure if I am reading redundant data here. Also another question is that if I were to use a thread to appendToFile, would that maintain the connection to the stream?
I must be missing something obvious. I have a class
[Code]....
vbnet
Public Class zWrapper
#Region " Variable Declaration "
Private _AllowRedirects = True, _UseGZIP As Boolean = True

I've been reading the MSDN Library and I need to use the StreamReader.Peek Method to check a text file while a I parse it.
When I try to use the Peek Method, I get an error saying , "Peek is not a member of System.IO.Stream."
I don't understand why it is happening because I am following the examples on MSDN, and I even checked other sources and it seems like I am doing everything correct. I am hoping it is just something small that I have missed.
I am also importing System, System.IO, and System.Text.
Is it possible to capture all/any audio played by a PC into a system.io.stream, so that it can then be run through speech recognition (System.Speech.Recognition.SpeechRecognitionEngine)?Essentially I'm looking to pefrom speech recognition on any audio on the client PC, google seems to suggest that capturing a stream like this can be done using Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound, however I cannot honestly determine how.
View 1 RepliesI am attempting to read from a url into a System.IO.Stream object. I tried to use

I have a function that accepts a string and generates an email attachment based on that string. It works fine for html pages, text documents, and so forth but I can not get it to generate a PDF file.
Code:
Public Sub SendMail _
( _
ByVal strFrom As String _
[code]......
If I save the file attachment as Whatever.PDF i get the error that it was not encoded properly.I am using datadynamics active reports PDF exporter to generate the PDF
dim pdf as new datadynamics.activereports.export.pdf.pdfexport
sendmail("from@", "to@", "test", "test", pdf.tostring, "pdf.pdf")
I think the problem is I am converting the PDF to a string, and then trying to convert it back to a PDF and attach it to the email but I am not 100% sure.
in an winForm app in VS2010 win 7 compiling to x86, I try to do what Alvas.Audio seems to work. See (c# ex: [URL] for reference.
Dim data() As Byte = wr.ReadData(second * i, second)
The result give me data.length()=0. I do not have any exception, I can read format from it and whatever reader I use I got this problem.EDIT : After some tests, it seems like the uncompressed file I create in the first step (in PCM format, with .wav extension) can not be recognized by the Alvas.audio library for the second step. I must miss something around Audio file markups or something alike.
Here is the code that might be the source (basically this is step 1):
Dim functOut As String = String.Empty
Dim wr As Alvas.Audio.IAudioReader = Nothing
Dim fs As IO.FileStream = Nothing

How can I write the resulted stream to be sure I can read it again later?
Im making a desktop player for a online web radio, and for the program I wanna make it show all the stream info. Like the stream name, and such. However I dont know how to do this? I looked everywhere
The server url is setup like this "[URL]" And it has all the stream info and that there. So is there a way I can get the info from there onto like say a label? Live updates btw.
I have a problem with the cryptostream, if i write the stream to a memorystream the memory that the stream used is still alocated and i have no way of unalocating it.what am i missingdoing wrong? im using-using on the streams,readers and crypto stuffs so the framework should shut them all down right? i tryed calling .close and .dispose but nothing ,in fact i moved it all over I have provided the sub that im using for the encrytion im in .net 4.5 so there is a lil async stuff but i know thats not the problem coz i moved this code out of my main app(.net 4) for testing to see if i could fix the problem.[code...]

I am facing a strange problem with listbox. I need to scrab whois information. I used the following code to get source code of the whois query. It works fine if I use a textbox. But I need to use this for multiple url and therefore need to use lixtbox to loop through url list. Unfortunately when I use listbox1.selecteditem or listbox1.text it does not work. But this same code works with webbrowser.
Dim request As System.Net.HttpWebRequest = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create("http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/results.jsp?domain=" & listbox1.selecteditem)

I'm building this class to download files in parts/sections/segments. In .NET 4.0, I can use this code to specify the range to download from
long startPos = int.MaxValue+1;
HttpWebRequest.AddRange(startPos);
and it works because there is a long overload for the AddRange method. When I looked up the .NET 3.5 version, I realised the AddRange() method allows using int only. The possible workaround would be using the AddRange(string, int) or AddRange(string, int, int) methods. Since the class will have to work in .NET 3.5, I'll have to go with the string specification but unfortunately I can't seem to find any sample code that shows how to specify ranges using this procedure in .NET 3.5. Can anyone show be how to do this?As the first code sample I wrote shows, I would like to specify a range of type long instead of int. Using type int allows requesting for byte ranges only up to 2GB but long allows requesting for byte ranges beyong 2GB.
The question therefore is: How do I specify byte ranges of 2GB or higher on HttpWebRequest in .NET 3.5?

how to write a httpwebrequest, however i'm unsure of how to write it with a if...statement. I have a file that I need to download, however it ususally doesn't get posted until sometime Tuesday afternoon, so what I need to do is have the program continually check say once about every 5 minutes until the file has been posted and then download it.I'm presumming using an if...statement is the best way to accomplish this, basically if true(file exists) then proceed, else wait 5 minutes and rerun process.

I have a problem when trying to send a POST request. The sending method looks like this:
Public Sub SendXML(ByVal file As String)
Dim reader As New StreamReader(file)
Dim data As String = reader.ReadToEnd()
[Code]....
Now looking at this I suspected that it was due to the fact that the server does not accept POST messages. But some other reading suggests that the the URI [URL] has been generated with a proxy and should be /Request so the line should read POST /Request HTTP/1.1
So what would be the common reason for this? And if it is a proxy problem, how is it sorted?
As asked below, I have created a new question for the more specific request. Changing absolute URI to relative in HTTP POST header
