Hello!
I'm using the *HttpWebRequest *to do a PUT on my server. The web-server is
Node.js. The code is very by the book standard stuff:
// Prepare the data.
var dataText = data.ToString();
var byteArray = dataText.ToByteArray();
// Setup the web-request.
var req = WebRequest.Create(url);
req.Method = "PUT";
req.ContentType = "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8";
req.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
// Process the stream.
var dataStream = req.*GetRequestStream*();
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
dataStream.Close();
The problem is, when I call *GetRequestStream* it issues the request to the
server and the response is complete before the next line (dataStream.Write)
executes. As a result no data is actually sent. It's like the stream
prematurely flushes upon creation. In fact, I didn't think it was supposed
to call the server at all until *GetResponse* was invoked.
Am I doing something dumb here? Or, is it something with the way Node is
behaving (that would be weird if it were). Or is HttpWebRequest flakey?
This works if I use *WebClient*. But I need HttpStatus codes - and my
understanding is you can't get at those from *WebClient*. (If you can, I
can't find them anywhere! :-))
Anyone else seeing weirdness with *HttpWebRequest*?
