webclient

I can not find any documentation that specifies on which thread WebClient raises its events. I ran some tests and determined the following: If called from a UI thread (say from an event handler) the event handler will be executed on that thread. As a test, I added an infinite loop after the call to OpenReadAsync. The event handler was never called. If there is no UI thread, like in a console application, the event handler will be executed on a thread pool thread. In this case, if I wanted to provide some results the rest of the application, I would have to be aware of threading issues. Is this

I am making a request to an API and getting a response status code of 200 . Response of the api includes a json response. import javax.ws.rs.core.Response; Response response = webclient.post(SomeReqString); How can I retrieve the json response as string from the web client response? whoami You can use following code String responseAsString = response.readEntity(String.class); Andrei I Try using the Response.getEntity() method, which returns an InputStream . Then, to convert your InputStream to a String, check this question . If you really need to map the JSON String to a Java entity, that

I am coding a data intense web app. So that means I cant be possibly doing any computations on sever- computation after every event involves huge data too large to be sent to sever again & again. So I have to do all execution & keep all data on clint side only. Currently I am using JS to do so. Is there a way by which I can protect my js files & data so that no one has (atleast an easy) access to it ? Is there some other way of putting (except JS) to put logic & data on client & conceal them ? thanks, Rather than using javascript for the client side logic, perhaps you could use an applet which

I'm using a WebClient to get infos asynchronously from my web service : wc.DownloadStringCompleted += DownloadStringCompleted; wc.DownloadStringAsync(service); I works fine, but I think the DownloadStringCompleted method is working on the UI Thread, and since i'm doing a lot of parsing there, my page takes a few seconds to appear. However, since I have so fixed data and a progress bar, I would'nt mind have it appearing instantly. How could I perfom this ? Thanks ! Use HttpWebRequest rather than WebClient . HWR doesn't return on the UI thread and so doesn't block it from updating. WebClient

I have a string that I Gzip on the server and download to a client using the WebClient class. When I try to uncompress it, I get the error message that the Magic Number is missing. I have tried both the GZipStream class and the ICSharpLib methods of solving this, so I'm at a loss. The compression/decompression works if I omit the step of downloading via the WebClient (using DownloadData which returns the data as byte[]), so I can only assume that there is some problem with the data getting truncated or corrupted some how, but since it's compressed data, I'm not sure how to debug this. Here's
