Loading word file from url

[bzuidgeest]

I'm trying to load a word document from an url like so

try

{

// Get the web response

HttpWebResponse MyResponse = (HttpWebResponse)MyRequest.GetResponse();

// Make sure the response is valid

if (HttpStatusCode.OK == MyResponse.StatusCode)

{

// Open the response stream

using (Stream MyResponseStream = MyResponse.GetResponseStream())

{

wordTemplateDocument = new Document(MyResponseStream);

}

}

}

catch (Exception err)

{

throw new Exception("Error reading file from URL: " + err.Message, err);

}

But I get an error about the stream not being seekable. I there any way to load a file from url without intermediate files?. I tried all kinds of buffers and such but they all result in crc errors or messages like zip file(docx) to short

I can answer myself

try

{

// Get the web response

HttpWebResponse MyResponse = (HttpWebResponse)MyRequest.GetResponse();

// Make sure the response is valid

if (HttpStatusCode.OK == MyResponse.StatusCode)

{

// Open the response stream

using (Stream MyResponseStream = MyResponse.GetResponseStream())

{

Stream TResponseStream = new MemoryStream();

// Create a 4K buffer to chunk the file

byte[] MyBuffer = new byte[4096];

int BytesRead;

// Read the chunk of the web response into the buffer

while (0 < (BytesRead = MyResponseStream.Read(MyBuffer, 0, MyBuffer.Length)))

{

// Write the chunk from the buffer to the file

TResponseStream.Write(MyBuffer, 0, BytesRead);

}

wordTemplateDocument = new Document(TResponseStream);

}

}

}

catch (Exception err)

{

throw new Exception("Error reading file from URL: " + err.Message, err);

}

Aspose words will read fine from a memory stream. Still if anyone knows a shorter way please let me know!

Hi<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Thanks for your request. Please try using the following code;

string url = "http://localhost/test_setLicense/in.doc";

//Prepare the web page we will be asking for

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);

request.Method = "GET";

request.ContentType = "application/msword";

request.UserAgent = "Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+5.01;+Windows+NT+5.0";

//Execute the request

HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

//We will read data via the response stream

Stream resStream = response.GetResponseStream();

//Write content into the MemoryStream

BinaryReader resReader = new BinaryReader(resStream);

MemoryStream docStream = new MemoryStream(resReader.ReadBytes((int)response.ContentLength));

//Create document

Document doc = new Document(docStream);

//Save document

doc.Save(@"Test048\out.doc");

Hope this helps.

Best regards.
