HttpWebRequest error supporting encoding of type chunked

Question

I made a code so download a page so uses the chunked encoding, but the result is not good - a �� characters.

I looked at fiddler - there the characters are correct.

How can I get the correct characters with keeping stuff simple? (no manual parsing)

Or - how can I tell to the server so we not support this encoding?

Thanks in advance

Here is the code in C#

HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create("http://www.grad-nk.ru/arti/531.php"); var webResponse = (HttpWebResponse)webRequest.GetResponse(); using (Stream stream = webResponse.GetResponseStream()) { using (StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(stream)) { var content = streamReader.ReadToEnd(); } }

Edit:

Here is the line so makes it work

using (StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(stream, Encoding.GetEncoding(webResponse.CharacterSet)))

Thanks to wal!!!

Is there are charset specified in the Content-Type header of the response? — simonc

The Content-Type of that page is windows-1251 so you will have to use that Encoding when reading the response from the stream.

Change this line in your code:

using (StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(stream))

to this:

using (StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(stream, Encoding.GetEncoding(1251)))

which will fix your problem.
