The Request.BinaryRead Method

Introduction

The Request.BinaryRead method is used to retrieve data from the client via the post request. In conjunction to that you can use the Request.TotalBytes property to get the total bytes. The retrieved data is stored in a SafeArray, which also contains the information of the dimensions. Note that you can’t call Request.Form after you have called Request.BinaryRead.

Example

<%

            dim bytecount

            dim binread

            bytecount = Request.TotalBytes

            binread = Request.BinaryRead(bytecount)

            if byteCount <> 0 then

                        Response.Write "Bytes Read: "&bytecount

            end if

%>

<FORM NAME="myForm" ACTION="request_object_method_binaryread_example.asp" METHOD="post">

String:

<INPUT TYPE="Text" NAME="anything">

   <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="submit">

</FORM>
