How to GET data from an URL and save it into a file in binary in C#.NET without the encoding mess?

Question

In C#.NET, I want to fetch data from an URL and save it to a file in binary.

Using HttpWebRequest/Streamreader to read into a string and saving using StreamWriter works

Answer 1

This is what I use:

sUrl = "http://your.com/xml.file.xml";
rssReader = new XmlTextReader(sUrl.ToString());
rssDoc = new XmlDocument();

WebRequest wrGETURL;
wrGETURL = WebRequest.Create(sUrl);

Stream objStream;
objStream = wrGETURL.GetResponse().GetResponseStream();
StreamReader objReader = new StreamReader(objStream, Encoding.UTF8);
WebResponse wr = wrGETURL.GetResponse();
Stream receiveStream = wr.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(receiveStream, Encoding.UTF8);
string content = reader.ReadToEnd();
XmlDocument content2 = new XmlDocument();

content2.LoadXml(content);
content2.Save("direct.xml");
