HttpListenerRequest::InputStream Property
.NET Framework (current version)
Gets a stream that contains the body data sent by the client.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
If the client transmits data (for example, using the HTTP POST method), the stream returned by this method contains that data.
Note |
|---|
Closing the request does not close the stream returned by this property. When you no longer need the stream, you should close it by calling the Close method. |
Notes to Callers:
This member outputs trace information when you enable network tracing in your application. For more information, see Network Tracing in the .NET Framework.
The following code example demonstrates using this property to read the data sent with a request.
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. }
