HttpContent.ReadAsStream Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Net.Http

Assembly:

System.Net.Http.dll

Serializes the HTTP content and returns a stream that represents the content.

Overloads

ReadAsStream()	Serializes the HTTP content and returns a stream that represents the content.
ReadAsStream(CancellationToken)	Serializes the HTTP content and returns a stream that represents the content.

Remarks

Note that this method will internally buffer the content unless CreateContentReadStream(CancellationToken) has been implemented to do otherwise. For example, when using HttpClient, a method such as SendAsync returns a class derived from HttpContent that conditionally buffers based on what's passed for the completionOption parameter.
