Dump the response.

[Robert Strickland]

Is there a quick way to see response stream? I need to dump the stream into
a file. Request has the InputStream but Response does not have the same
(OutputStream is write only). Do I have to use a filter?

Hey Robert,

Here's a quick and not-too-dirty way to get the response to a file. You'll
need to make sure the ASPNET account has write permissions to the location:

Dim uriString As String = _
"http://msdn.microsoft.com/"
' Create a new WebClient instance.
Dim myWebClient As New System.Net.WebClient
Dim myNameValueCollection As New _
System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection
myNameValueCollection.Add("", "")
Dim responseArray As Byte() = myWebClient.UploadValues _
(uriString, "POST", myNameValueCollection)
' Create an instance of StreamWriter to write text to a file.
Dim sw As System.IO.StreamWriter = New
System.IO.StreamWriter("c:\TestFile.txt")
' Add some text to the file.
sw.Write(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(responseArray))
sw.Close()

If you need to see more information and don't need it programmatically, try
this add-on to IE:

Does this help?

You can use the Filter property of the HttpResponse object. This is a
Stream derived object that you can use to manipulate the outgoing response.
That also means you can take the outgoing response and place it into a file.
