Transfer-Encoding: chunked in Windows Phone

Question

I have a server response with Transfer-Encoding: chunked

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2013 08:22:49 GMT
Content-Type: application/js         


        

Answer 1

HttpClient is able to parse chunked output automatically http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.http.httpclient(v=vs.110).aspx

HttpClient is an overall cool thing with PostAsync and GetAsinc and tons of other goodness. I never-ever use HttpWebRequest again.

HttpClient is readily available in .NET Framework 4.5, Windows 8, or Windows Phone 8.1

Use NuGet package http://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Net.Http if you need HttpClient in - .NET Framework 4 - Windows Phone Silverlight 7.5 - Silverlight 4 - Portable Class Libraries
