Getting the entire document from response.

[Josh Naro]

I am writing a module that requires the entire output from a web app
to perform its function. So, basically I need to be able to pull the
entire output stream from the Response object. I've tried attaching a
custom filter to Response.Filter, but the custom filter receives the
stream in separate chunks. I need the entire stream at once in order
to convert it to an XmlDocument. Does anyone know of a way to get the
entire output stream from a web app using a module?

Well, I managed to figure this one out myself.

Answer:
1. Create a custom filter that makes use of the singleton pattern.
2. Have the filter store each stream as it comes through in a public
variable (i.e. temp += currentStream).
3. Install the filter on BeginRequest of the application from within
a module.
4. Grab your filter on EndRequest of the application from within the
module.
5. Your singleton filter should now have the entire output of the
application in its temp variable.
