Read from infinite online stream using Windows.Web.Http.HttpClient.
If you have an infinite Transfer-Encoding: Chunked HTTP response, you can read it this way:
private async void Foo() { // Example URI. Uri uri = new Uri("http://localhost/?chunked=1&length=10000000000&delay=500"); HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync( uri, HttpCompletionOption.ResponseHeadersRead); IInputStream inputStream = await response.Content.ReadAsInputStreamAsync(); ulong totalBytesRead = 0; IBuffer buffer = new Windows.Storage.Streams.Buffer(1000000); do { buffer = await inputStream.ReadAsync( buffer, buffer.Capacity, InputStreamOptions.Partial); // ... totalBytesRead += buffer.Length; Debug.WriteLine(buffer.Length + " " + totalBytesRead); } while (buffer.Length > 0); Debug.WriteLine(totalBytesRead); }
