Downloading a document form a web Server

[Andrew]

I'm trying to download a document to a machine using the documents URL. I've been playing around with the HTTPWebRequest object but without any joy.

My code is

wrWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(strDocURL);
wrWebRequest.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
wrWebRequest.Method = "POST";

StreamReader Stream = new StreamReader(wrWebReq.GetRequestStream());
The error I get is Stream was not Readable.

Any Thoughts?

Should'nt you use HTTP method GET instead of POST?

When I do a GET I get the error - 'Cannot send a content-body with this verb type'.

You are using GetRequestStream, try GetResponse instead:

StreamReader sr = new
StreamReader(System.Net.WebRequest.Create(url).Get Response().GetResponseStre
am());

Sure. Don't read the request stream. Read the *response* stream.

Hi Andrew,

StreamReader Stream = new StreamReader(wrWebReq.GetRequestStream());
--> Stream is part of System.IO.Stream, name it strmRead or anything else.

Maybe you should name it something else.

Good Luck! Correct me if i am wrong.
