Dowload File

[rony_16]

Hi,
I have problem with downloading a file using WebRequest and
HttpWebResponse .
Inorder to download this file i need to call to url that tells to
prepare the file for download,
and then i call to another url that downloads the file.
I have a problem with that because:

1. i do not know when the server finished the preparetion.
2.i checked the HttpStatusCode but he doen't changes
(myresponse.Sta tusCode).

the problem causes the application to download only a part of the file
and that because the server hasn't prepared the file yet.
if i give him Thread.Sleep(10 0000) i do get the full file, but the file
can be 100Mb and 10sec won't help.

the code is:
//Preparing the file todownload...
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HttpWebRequest webRequest3 = WebRequest.Crea te(d1) as
HttpWebRequest;
webRequest3.Kee pAlive = true;
webRequest3.Hea ders.Add("Keep-Alive", "300");
webRequest3.Hea ders.Add("Accep t","text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,ima ge/png,*/*;q=0.5");
webRequest3.Hea ders.Add("Accep t-Language",
"en-us,en;q=0.5");
webRequest3.Hea ders.Add("Accep t-Encoding", "gzip,deflate") ;
webRequest3.Hea ders.Add("Accep t-Charset",
"ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 ");

webRequest3.Coo kieContainer = cookies;
HttpWebResponse myResponse3 =
(HttpWebRespons e)webRequest3.G etResponse();

Thread.Sleep(10 000);
Stream ReceiveStream3 = myResponse3.Get ResponseStream( );

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

//Downloading ....
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Console.WriteLi ne("Connecting to download link...");
HttpWebRequest webRequest2 = WebRequest.Crea te(re) as
HttpWebRequest;
webRequest2.Con tentType =
"applicatio n/x-www-form-urlencoded";
webRequest2.Kee pAlive = true;
webRequest2.Coo kieContainer = cookies;
HttpWebResponse myResponse2 =
(HttpWebRespons e)webRequest2.G etResponse();
Stream ReceiveStream2 = myResponse2.Get ResponseStream( );
Console.WriteLi ne("Downloading ...");

Common.SaveStre amToFile(@"C:\s crapingtest\fil e.csv",
ReceiveStream2) ;
Console.WriteLi ne("Done Downloading");
