I'm using this to write to the Response stream:
using (var writer = new StringWriter()) { context.Server.Execute(virtualpath, writer); string s = writer.ToString().Replace(...); context.Response.Write(s); } But I'm getting a byte order mark in the response. Am I screwing up the encoding? How do I NOT return the BOM?
EDIT: SOrry Rubens, my first example was incorrect.
Try this:
context.Server.Execute(virtualpath, context.Response.Output); EDIT: So, try this to force your encoding:
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(); StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(ms); context.Server.Execute(virtualpath, writer); context.Response.Write(Encoding.UTF8.GetString(ms.ToArray()).Replace(...)); Server.Execute() returns an encoded stream, but StringWriter() is intended to store simple .NET strings (which are 16-bit Unicode and don't have a BOM) and doesn't know how to decode the incoming bytes. So, the BOM in the response becomes literal characters in your string.
Try writing to a MemoryStream() instead, then decode that back into a string using whichever encoding (UTF-8 or whatever) that the Server.Execute() is passing back. Then you can parse it and write it back to your Response.
