HTTPWebRequest: framework vs. compact framework

[Guest]

Hello

i have a problem with HTTPWebRequest and WM2003. The following cod
runs fine on my pc. On the PPC with WM2003 or the emulator the code wil
not work ("The chunk length was not valid")

Have anybody an idea

Thx: - Reinhard


Public Function GetHTMLPage(ByVal URL As String) As Strin

Dim sResult As Strin

Dim objRequest As HttpWebReques
Dim objResponse As HttpWebRespons

Tr

objRequest = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(URL

objRequest.Method = "GET
objRequest.Timeout = 6000

objResponse = objRequest.GetResponse(

Dim sr As System.IO.StreamReader = New System.IO.StreamReader(objResponse.GetResponseStream(), System.Text.Encoding.Default

'this will NOT work on WM200
sResult = sr.ReadToEnd(

sr.Close(

objResponse.Close(

Return sResul

Catch ex As WebExceptio

MsgBox("Web: " & ex.Message

txtResults.Text = "

objResponse = Nothin
objRequest = Nothin

Catch ex As System.Exceptio

MsgBox("System: " & ex.Message

txtResults.Text = "

objResponse = Nothin
objRequest = Nothin

End Tr

End Functio

Hi Reinhard, are you running SP2? If not give it a try, many users have
reported that SP2 has fixed this problem for them:

You can also browse through these threads for more information on the
problem:

Hallo Jonathan

i have installed the SP2 and my program runs now on WM2003! Than
you for this ..

But the program runs NOT on the emulator (german ppc 2003 sdk) wit
SP2. Have you any suggestions, what i can do

Thx: - Reinhard

Are you sure SP2 is on the emulator? Shouldn't matter if it's on an
emulator or device.

The only thing different in my code is the encoding...

myStream = myResponse.GetResponseStream()

encode = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8")

' Pipe the stream to a higher level stream reader with the required encoding
format.

readStream = New System.IO.StreamReader(myStream, encode)

strLists = readStream.ReadToEnd()

' Release the resources of stream object.

readStream.Close()
