HttpWebRequest track request stream write progress

Question

Ok I give up ! :)

I'm trying to send a large file to a REST service using HttpWebRequest (PUT method)

I'm using a while loop to write "chunks" to the stream and have set AllowWriteStreamBuffering to false. But it writes all the data at once and only starts to transmit the data when all the data have been moved from my "local" stream and onto the network stream.

It works fine with another service I'm using and I can't seem to figure out why.

The service is Amazons S3 REST interface.

I haven't found any good guide on how to do this, any ideas? All I want is to track how many of the bytes have been sent, nothing more. :)

Answer 1

Can you clarify what you mean? What do you mean when you say that it "writes all the data at once and only starts to transmit the data when all the data have been moved from the local stream to the network stream"?

And, why do you want it to behave that way? Surely, the client is transmitting the data to the server when you call Close() on the RequestStream?

Try setting "SendChunked=false".
