Question

Here’s an easy one for you:

I’m currently logging request duration via an HttpModule and I’d like to find out the number of bytes each page is as well.

HttpContext.Current.Response.OutputStream.Length throws a NotSupportedException.

What’s an easy way to do this?

Answer 1

I have an HttpModule that implements a stream rewriter. It derives from the Stream class. In my HttpModule I have the following code:

void app_PreRequestHandlerExecute(object sender, EventArgs e) {     HttpResponse response = HttpContext.Current.Response;     response.Filter = new MyRewriterStream(response.Filter); } 

In the stream class I have the following code that overrides the default Write method:

public override void Write(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count) {      string outStr;      outStr = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetString(buffer, offset, count);      //Do useful stuff and write back to the stream } 

You can just take the length of the string at the second point
