Gets the length of the body data included in the request.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
Syntax . . :: . Int64
The value from the request's Content-Length header. This value is -1 if the content length is not known.
Public ReadOnly Property ContentLength64 As Longpublic long ContentLength64 { get; }public:
property long long ContentLength64 {
long long get ();
}member ContentLength64 : int64
Property Value
Type: SystemThe value from the request's Content-Length header. This value is -1 if the content length is not known.
Remarks
The Content-Length header expresses the length, in bytes, of the body data that accompanies the request.
For a complete list of request headers, see the HttpRequestHeader enumeration.
Examples
The following code example uses the ContentLength64 property while processing body data.
Public Shared Sub ShowRequestData(ByVal request As HttpListenerRequest)
If Not request.HasEntityBody Then
Console.WriteLine("No client data was sent with the request.")
Return
End If
Dim body As System.IO.Stream = request.InputStream
Dim encoding As System.Text.Encoding = request.ContentEncoding
Dim reader As New System.IO.StreamReader(body, encoding)
If request.ContentType IsNot Nothing Then
Console.WriteLine("Client data content type {0}", request.ContentType)
End If
Console.WriteLine("Client data content length {0}", request.ContentLength64)
Console.WriteLine("Start of client data:")
' Convert the data to a string and display it on the console.
Dim s As String = reader.ReadToEnd()
Console.WriteLine(s)
Console.WriteLine("End of client data:")
body.Close()
reader.Close()
' If you are finished with the request, it should be closed also.
End Sub
public static void ShowRequestData (HttpListenerRequest request)
{
if (!request.HasEntityBody)
{
Console.WriteLine("No client data was sent with the request.");
return;
}
System.IO.Stream body = request.InputStream;
System.Text.Encoding encoding = request.ContentEncoding;
System.IO.StreamReader reader = new System.IO.StreamReader(body, encoding);
if (request.ContentType != null)
{
Console.WriteLine("Client data content type {0}", request.ContentType);
}
Console.WriteLine("Client data content length {0}", request.ContentLength64);
Console.WriteLine("Start of client data:");
// Convert the data to a string and display it on the console.
string s = reader.ReadToEnd();
Console.WriteLine(s);
Console.WriteLine("End of client data:");
body.Close();
reader.Close();
// If you are finished with the request, it should be closed also.
}
