(C#) REST Stream Response to File (Streaming Download) (Amazon S3)

Demonstrates how to stream the response body directly to a file. (The example shows how to stream a JPG from the Amazon S3 service.)

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// there are three important changes that need to be made.

// We expect a 200 response status if the JPG data is coming.
// Otherwise, we'll get a string response body with an error message(or no response body).

    // The stream's sink will be a file.
    bodyStream.SinkFile = "qa_output/starfish.jpg";

    // Read the response body to the stream.  Given that we've
    // set the stream's sink to a file, it will stream directly
    // to the file.
    success = rest.ReadRespBodyStream(bodyStream,true);
    if (success != true) {
