Re: How to retrieve raw HTTP Post Data

Thanks. Turned out there was an extra byte in their stream breaking
it, so it's all good. Request.InputStream got the raw POST data and
Request.QueryString still gave me the QS vars.
Thanks for all the help!

Consider using an HTTP Sniffer like Fiddler to examine the actual POST so you

Thanks! That looks like it will do the trick.
The one challenge is that I am also getting data through QueryString.
It looks like using InputStream will put all POST and GET data (and
presumably other Request data like Cookies) together into one file.
I assume that's what's happening since I can't open the jpg after I
save it out.

Is there a way to separate the POST data?

What I need to do is retrieve the raw POST data and save it as a
jpg.

Here is some php code that does the same thing for reference:
$jfh = fopen($jpeg_file, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fwrite($jfh, $GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA']);
fclose($jfh);

I assume there is some way to access POST data as a stream and then
write that stream to a file, but it's not clear to me how. Perhaps I
need to use Request.Form.GetObjectData, but I'm not sure how to setup
SerializationInfo and StreamingContext appropriately.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
