How to read from a networkstream?

Ola,

In the method GetHTTPrequest I want to write to the concole the text in the stream from the request that came in on the tcp listner.
How do I do that?

using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.Threading;
using System.Collections;

namespace AtomHTTPresponse
{
      class AtomHTTPresponse
      {
            private byte[] cByteSteamData = null;
            static void Main(string[] args)
            {
                  AtomHTTPresponse lObjAtomHTTPresponse = new AtomHTTPresponse();
                  TcpListener lObjTcpListner = new TcpListener( 9999 );
                  lObjTcpListner.Start();
                  Console.WriteLine( "Listening started" );
                  TcpClient lObjTcpClient = lObjTcpListner.AcceptTcpClient();
                  Console.WriteLine( "Got a client" );
                  NetworkStream lObjNetworkStream = lObjTcpClient.GetStream();
                  lObjNetworkStream.BeginRead( lObjAtomHTTPresponse.cByteSteamData, 0, 1048576, new AsyncCallback( lObjAtomHTTPresponse.GetHTTPrequest ), null );
            }
            private void GetHTTPrequest( IAsyncResult ar )
            {
                  //Console.WriteLine( "Here I want the HTTP request written" );
            }
            private void RespondHTTP()
            {
                  /*
                  string lStrHTTPheader = "";
                  lStrHTTPheader += "HTTP/1.1 404\r\n";
                  lStrHTTPheader += "Server: c# DHTML Chat Server V0.01alpha\r\n";
                  lStrHTTPheader += "Content-Type: text/html\r\n";
                  lStrHTTPheader += "Accept-Ranges: bytes\r\n";
                  lStrHTTPheader += "Content-Length: 1000000000000000\r\n\r\n"; // Igone this HTTP header for now. We will get to that subject in another question

                  Byte[] lArrBtHTTPheader = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes( lStrHTTPheader );

                  lObjNetworkStream.Write( lArrBtHTTPheader, 0, lArrBtHTTPheader.Length );
                  Console.WriteLine( "HTTP header send" );
                  string lStrHTTPcontent = "";
                  lStrHTTPheader += "<html><head><title>yoyo</title></head><body>ohh yeah</body></html>";

                  Byte[] lArrBtHTTPcontent = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes( lStrHTTPcontent );

                  lObjNetworkStream.Write( lArrBtHTTPcontent, 0, lArrBtHTTPcontent.Length );
                  Console.WriteLine( "HTTP content send" );
                  */
            }
      }
}

You could try:

Console.Write(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(lObjAtomHTTPresponse.cByteSteamData));

Compile error
The type or namespace name 'lObjAtomHTTPresponse' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Console.Write(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString( !! lObjAtomHTTPresponse !! .cByteSteamData));

dukkorg

Sorry My bad. Just do:

Console.Write(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(cByteSteamData));

This code:
using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.Threading;
using System.Collections;

namespace AtomHTTPresponse
{
      class AtomHTTPresponse
      {
            private byte[] cByteStreamData = new byte[1048576];
            static void Main(string[] args)
            {
                  AtomHTTPresponse lObjAtomHTTPresponse = new AtomHTTPresponse();
                  TcpListener lObjTcpListner = new TcpListener( 9999 );
                  lObjTcpListner.Start();
                  Console.WriteLine( "Listening started" );
                  TcpClient lObjTcpClient = lObjTcpListner.AcceptTcpClient();
                  Console.WriteLine( "Got a client" );
                  NetworkStream lObjNetworkStream = lObjTcpClient.GetStream();
                  lObjNetworkStream.BeginRead( lObjAtomHTTPresponse.cByteStreamData, 0, 1048576, new AsyncCallback( lObjAtomHTTPresponse.GetHTTPrequest ), null );
            }
            private void GetHTTPrequest( IAsyncResult ar )
            {
                  //Console.WriteLine( "Here I want the HTTP request written" );
                  Console.WriteLine(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(cByteStreamData));
            }
      }
}

Renders this result:

C:\_data\Projects\AtomHTTPresponse\bin\Debug>AtomHTTPresponse.exe
Listening started
Got a client

C:\_data\Projects\AtomHTTPresponse\bin\Debug>

THe HTTP request is not being displayed when i connect to my localhost on port 9999 with my browser

Can you please help me out with the folow up to this question on how to minimize this code?
It is quite large now using threadpool and other stuff I really dont want to use YET.

Please partisipate in my next question about this:

like do all your magic in GetHTTPrequest would be of great help. plain and simple straigt forward.
It will help my learning process of the C# and the networking

Well you deleted your new post right before I posted. So I guess I'll still be nice and post it here:

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.Text;

namespace AtomHTTPresponse
{
      internal sealed class SimpleHttp
      {
            private static void Main(string[] args)
            {
                  TcpListener tcpListner = new TcpListener(9999);
                  tcpListner.Start();
                  Console.WriteLine("Listening started.");

                  TcpClient tcp = tcpListner.AcceptTcpClient();

                  Console.WriteLine("Starting new session.");
                  NetworkStream stream = tcp.GetStream();
                  StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream);
                  StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(stream);

                  Console.WriteLine("Reading request.");
                  char[] chars = new char[256];
                  reader.Read(chars, 0, chars.Length);
                  Console.Write(chars);

                  Console.WriteLine("Building Response.");
                  string content = "<html><head><title>Response</title></head><body>Here's a response.</body></html>";
                  string header = "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n"
                        + "Cache-Control: private\r\n"
                        + "Content-Type: text/html\r\n"
                        + "Server: SimpleHttp/1.0\r\n"
                        + "Content-Length: " + Encoding.UTF8.GetByteCount(content) + "\r\n"
                        + "Date: " + DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString() + "\r\n\r\n";

                  Console.WriteLine("Sending response.");
                  writer.Write(header);
                  writer.Write(content);
                  writer.Flush();

                  Console.WriteLine("Cleaning up session.");
                  reader.Close();
                  writer.Close();
                  stream.Close();
                  tcp.Close();

                  Console.WriteLine("Press any key to quit.");
                  Console.Read();
            }

I apologise.

I already figurted it out:

using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.Threading;
using System.Collections;
using System.IO;

namespace AtomHTTPresponse
{
      class AtomHTTPresponse
      {
            private byte[] cByteStreamData = new byte[1048576];
            static void Main(string[] args)
            {
                  AtomHTTPresponse lObjAtomHTTPresponse = new AtomHTTPresponse();
                  TcpListener lObjTcpListner = new TcpListener( 9999 );
                  lObjTcpListner.Start();
                  Console.WriteLine( "Listening started" );
                  TcpClient lObjTcpClient = lObjTcpListner.AcceptTcpClient();
                  Console.WriteLine( "Got a client" );
                  NetworkStream lObjNetworkStream = lObjTcpClient.GetStream();

                  StreamReader reader = new StreamReader( lObjNetworkStream );

                  while (reader.Peek() >= 0)
                  {
                        char[] c = new char[256];
                        reader.Read(c, 0, c.Length);
                        Console.Write(c);
                  }

            }
      }
}

This is as small as I can get it now.. from this basis Ill work further
