The GetResponseStream method returns the data stream from the Internet resource.
Note |
|---|
The response stream must be closed to avoid running out of system resources. The response stream can be closed by calling Stream::Close or Close |
The following example uses GetResponseStream to return a StreamReader instance. A small local buffer is used to read data from the StreamReader and output it to the console.
// Create a 'WebRequest' object with the specified url. WebRequest^ myWebRequest = WebRequest::Create( "http://www.contoso.com" ); // Send the 'WebRequest' and wait for response. WebResponse^ myWebResponse = myWebRequest->GetResponse(); // Obtain a 'Stream' object associated with the response object. Stream^ ReceiveStream = myWebResponse->GetResponseStream(); Encoding^ encode = System::Text::Encoding::GetEncoding( "utf-8" ); // Pipe the stream to a higher level stream reader with the required encoding format. StreamReader^ readStream = gcnew StreamReader( ReceiveStream,encode ); Console::WriteLine( "\nResponse stream received" ); array<Char>^ read = gcnew array<Char>(256); // Read 256 charcters at a time. int count = readStream->Read( read, 0, 256 ); Console::WriteLine( "HTML...\r\n" ); while ( count > 0 ) { // Dump the 256 characters on a string and display the string onto the console. String^ str = gcnew String( read,0,count ); Console::Write( str ); count = readStream->Read( read, 0, 256 ); } Console::WriteLine( "" ); // Release the resources of stream object. readStream->Close(); // Release the resources of response object. myWebResponse->Close();
