How to download first 200 bytes of a file via HTTP protocol using C#?
I believed it could be done like this:
WebClient wc = new WebClient();
byte[] buffer = new byte[200];
using (var stream = wc.OpenRead(fileName))
{
stream.Read(buffer, 0, 200);
}
but when wc.OpenRead it called it downloads the whole file.
You need to set a Range Header on your WebClient before you invoke the OpenRead method.
