I put url to browser's address bar and it downloads the zip file to HD. The size of zipped file is 386 bytes as written in its properties.
When I use UnZipFiles method to extract the file - it works.
But, I want to download programaticaly and extract it in memory. I use GetResultFromServer method to get zipped content. As shown in headers the size of the content is the same as the size of zipped file saved on HD:
content-disposition: attachment; filename=emaillog-xml.zip
Content-Length: 386
Cache-Control: private
Content-Type: application/zip

X-AspNet-Version: 4.0.30319
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
My question is how to extract the content returned by GetResultFromServer?
I tried the following:
var ms = new MemoryStream(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(res))
var s = new ZipInputStream(ms);
but I get Unable to read from this stream.
UPDATED
I tried var zipStream = new System.IO.Compression.GZipStream(response.GetResponseStream(), CompressionMode.Decompress) but I get The magic number in GZip header is not correct error
Code
private string GetResultFromServer(ElasticLogParams elasticLogParams)
{
var webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
var response = webRequest.GetResponse();
using (var reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
{
var res = reader.ReadToEnd();
var headers = response.Headers.ToString();
return res;
}
}
public static void UnZipFiles(string zippedFilePath, Stream stream = null)
{
var s = new ZipInputStream(stream ?? File.OpenRead(zippedFilePath));
ZipEntry theEntry;
while ((theEntry = s.GetNextEntry()) != null)
{
using (var streamWriter = File.Create(@"D:\extractedXML.xml"))
{
var size = 2048;
var data = new byte[size];
while (true)
{
size = s.Read(data, 0, size);
if (size > 0)
{
streamWriter.Write(data, 0, size);
}
else
{
break;
}
}
streamWriter.Close();
}
}
s.Close();
}
Give this a shot:
var response = webRequest.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse;
var stream = response.GetResponseStream();
var s = new ZipInputStream(stream);
I believe you're very close and that you're using the right approach -- you can use this article to back that up -- their code is very similar.
