Webtest for binary content, how to ?

Question

Assume a web page that returns binary content: http://localhost/website/Default.aspx?FileId=value

and we have some files with known Ids and checksums (i.e. MD5). How it's possible to extract whole response and calculate it's check-sum via some visual studio webtest ?

Answer 1

Have you tried the property this.Context.LastResponse.BodyBytes after you yield the webtestrequest?

A custom validation rule may be the way to go to calculate that the hash matches the content.
