How to use restsharp to download file

Question

I have a URL (URL for the live feed from client) which when I hit in browser returns the xml response . I have saved this in text file it`s size is 8 MB.

now my problem is that I need to save this response in xml file on server`s drive. from there I will insert this in database. and request needs to be made using code using http-client or rest-sharp library of c# .net 4.5

I am unsure what should I do for above case. can any body suggest me something

With RestSharp, it's right there in the readme:

var client = new RestClient("http://example.com"); client.DownloadData(request).SaveAs(path); 

With HttpClient, it's a bit more involved. Have a look at this blog post.

Another option is Flurl.Http (disclaimer: I'm the author). It uses HttpClient under the hood and provides a fluent interface and lots of convenient helper methods, including:

await "http://example.com".DownloadFileAsync(folderPath, "foo.xml"); 

Get it on NuGet.
