HttpWebRequest::AllowWriteStreamBuffering Property
Gets or sets a value that indicates whether to buffer the data sent to the Internet resource.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
Property Value
Type: System::Booleantrue to enable buffering of the data sent to the Internet resource; false to disable buffering. The default is true.
When AllowWriteStreamBuffering is true, the data is buffered in memory so it is ready to be resent in the event of redirections or authentication requests.
Notes to ImplementersSetting AllowWriteStreamBuffering to true might cause performance problems when uploading large datasets because the data buffer could use all available memory.
The following code example uses the AllowWriteStreamBuffering property to disable data buffering.
// Create a new 'HttpWebRequest' object to the mentioned Uri. HttpWebRequest^ myHttpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest^)( WebRequest::Create( "http://www.contoso.com/codesnippets/next.asp" ) ); // Set AllowWriteStreamBuffering to 'false'. myHttpWebRequest->AllowWriteStreamBuffering = false; Console::WriteLine( "\nPlease Enter the data to be posted to the (http://www.contoso.com/codesnippets/next.asp) uri:" ); String^ inputData = Console::ReadLine(); String^ postData = String::Concat( "firstone= ", inputData ); // Set 'Method' property of 'HttpWebRequest' class to POST. myHttpWebRequest->Method = "POST"; ASCIIEncoding^ encodedData = gcnew ASCIIEncoding; array<Byte>^ byteArray = encodedData->GetBytes( postData ); // Set 'ContentType' property of the 'HttpWebRequest' class to S"application/x-www-form-urlencoded". myHttpWebRequest->ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"; // If the AllowWriteStreamBuffering property of HttpWebRequest is set to false, the contentlength has to be set to length of data to be posted else Exception(411) is raised. myHttpWebRequest->ContentLength = byteArray->Length; Stream^ newStream = myHttpWebRequest->GetRequestStream(); newStream->Write( byteArray, 0, byteArray->Length ); newStream->Close(); Console::WriteLine( "\nData has been posted to the Uri\n\nPlease wait for the response.........." ); // Assign the response object of 'HttpWebRequest' to a 'HttpWebResponse' variable. HttpWebResponse^ myHttpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse^)( myHttpWebRequest->GetResponse() );
