UrlEncodedStream¶

An UploadStreamBase implementation representing a stream that prepares and sends data as URL-encoded form data in an HTTP request.

Remarks:

This stream is used to send data as URL-encoded form data in an HTTP request. It sets the "Content-Type" header to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". URL-encoded form data is typically used for submitting form data to a web server. It is commonly used in HTTP POST requests to send data to a server, such as submitting HTML form data.

The return value of Stream is treated specially in the plugin:

• Less than zero(-1) value: indicates that no data is currently available but more is expected in the future. In this case, when new data becomes available the IThreadSignaler object must be signaled.
• Zero (0): means that the stream is closed, no more data can be expected.

A zero value to signal stream closure can follow a less than zero value.

While it's possible, it's not advised to send binary data url-encoded!

Fields:¶

Int64 Length¶

Gets the length of the stream.

Methods:¶

Void BeforeSendHeaders(HTTPRequest)¶

Sets up the HTTP request by adding the "Content-Type" header as "application/x-www-form-urlencoded".

AddBinaryData(String, Byte[])¶

Adds binary data to the form. It is not advised to send binary data with an URL-encoded form due to the conversion cost of binary to text conversion.
