Question

Hi, I'm from the Urkraine, and have bad english, but anyway not sure if there is an answer on my question.

I took example from [here][1] but i have exception that GZip magical number is not valid, why ?

    public long WriteUrl()

        long num1 = 0;

Answer 1

methods SendRequest and ReadLine you can view on link that i gave in my first message

Answer 2

You might want to check this question as its very similar.

Answer 3

In these lines

                string str = encoding.GetString(memStream.ToArray());
                ManageCookies(headers["Set-Cookie"], _headers["Host"]);
                cachedFile = encoding.GetBytes(str);

You're converting the byte array to a string and then back to a byte array. Since the original data is a gzip or jpg or whatever and not really a string, this conversion is probably screwing it up. I don't see you using str at all, so just take it out (use cachedFile.Length when you need the length instead of str.Length).

Answer 4

sorry, link here.

Sam, I have problem in this line

int bytesRead = responseStream.Read(respBuffer, 0, respBuffer.Length); // Exception, that GZip magical number is not valid 

    void SendRequest(Stream stream, IEnumerable<string> request) { 
        foreach (var r in request) { 
            var data = DefaultEncoding.GetBytes(r); 
            stream.Write(data, 0, data.Length); 
            stream.Write(LineTerminator, 0, 2); // this line a think a GZip magical number
        } 
        stream.Write(LineTerminator, 0, 2); // and this line a think a GZip magical number
        // Eat response 
        var response = ReadLine(stream); 
    } 

    string ReadLine(Stream stream) { 
        var lineBuffer = new List<byte>(); 
        while (true) { 
            int b = stream.ReadByte(); 
            if (b == -1) { 
                return null; 
            } 
            if (b == 10) { 
                break; 
            } 
            if (b != 13) { 
                lineBuffer.Add((byte)b); 
            } 
        } 
        return DefaultEncoding.GetString(lineBuffer.ToArray()); 
    }
