I want to implement a method to download Image from website to laptop.
public static void DownloadRemoteImageFile(string uri, string fileName)
{
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
if ((response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK ||
response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.Moved ||
response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.Redirect) &&
response.ContentType.StartsWith("image", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
{
//if the remote file was found, download it
using (Stream inputStream = response.GetResponseStream())
using (Stream outputStream = File.OpenWrite(fileName))
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
int bytesRead;
do
{
bytesRead = inputStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
outputStream.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
} while (bytesRead != 0);
}
}
}
But the ContentType of request or response is not "image/jpg" or "image/png". They're always "text/html". I think that's why after I save them to local, they has incorrect content and I cannot view them.
Can anyone has a solution here?
Thanks
