Question

I am trying to alter an HTML page before it renders in a browser using an HTTP module. I tried to implement the agility HTML parser, but it only seems to read from files.

How can I have it read from a buffer/stream?

public override void Write(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count)
    {
      byte[] data = new byte[count];
      Buffer.BlockCopy(buffer, offset, data, 0, count);
      string html = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(buffer);

      HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
      doc.Load(html);
      foreach(HtmlNode link in doc.DocumentElement.SelectNodes("//a[@href"])
      {
      HtmlAttribute att = link["href"];
      att.Value = FixLink(att);
      }
    }

You should be able to use a MemoryStream to read in the data:

public override void Write(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count)
{
  var stream = new MemoryStream(buffer, offset, count);

  HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
  doc.Load(stream);

  foreach(HtmlNode link in doc.DocumentElement.SelectNodes("//a[@href"])
  {
    HtmlAttribute att = link["href"];
    att.Value = FixLink(att);
  }
}
