extract HTTP POST data (WCF C#)

How do i get the data inside an HTTP POST request , that is received in my WCF Service?

i send the data from another service using HTTP POST:

        string ReportText = "Hello world";

      开发者_如何学JAVA  ASCIIEncoding encoding = new ASCIIEncoding();
        byte[] data = encoding.GetBytes(ReportText);

        // Prepare web request...
        String serverURL = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["REPORT"];
        HttpWebRequest myRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(serverURL);
        myRequest.Method = "POST";
        myRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
        myRequest.ContentLength = data.Length;
        Stream newStream = myRequest.GetRequestStream();

        // Send the data.
        newStream.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
        newStream.Close();

but when i receive the POST request in the WCF i can't find a way to extract it using WebOperationContext.Current.IncomingRequest, how do i extract the data from the HTTP POST request ?

My guess is that you are using a WCF Rest service and you can pull the GET parameters but you are unable to read RAW post data?

If this is the case then add a Stream parameter to the end of the parameter list in the Contract declaration. If there is a single stream at the end of the function, the framework treats it as a raw data stream.

          [OperationContract]
          [WebInvoke(Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "DoSomething?siteId={siteId}&configTarget={configTarget}", 
          RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
          bool DoSomething(string itemid, Stream body);


    public bool DoSomething(int siteId, string configTarget, Stream postData)
    {
        string data = new StreamReader(postData).ReadToEnd();
        return data.Length > 0;
    }

Hello world isn't exactly application/x-www-form-urlencoded. You need to encode the post message body accordingly someproperty=Hello%20world as well as use WCF HTTP bindings.

This isn't a WCF question, as you're not using WCF. What you're really doing is submitting a form using HTTP Post, and you need to make a web page to receive and handle that. You can do that with the Request.Form collection.
