Re: [Htmlunit-user] WebResponse getContentAsBytes() deprecation

[Ahmed A. <asa...@ya...>]

Hi Brett,

It was deprecated, as the byte array can be retrieved from the InputStream by 
using something like org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.toByteArray().

Yours,
Ahmed

Subject: [Htmlunit-user] WebResponse getContentAsBytes() deprecation

Just wondering if there is any practical reason behind this.  I  
currently use this function to download directly accessed images in  
the following manner (or similar):

byte[] imageBytes = ((Page) this.webClient.getPage("path/to/ 
image")).getWebResponse().getContentAsBytes();

And then write the image to disk.

OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("/path/to/local/file");
out.write(imageBytes);
out.close();

Working with an input stream (getContentAsInputStream()) or string  
(getContentAsString()) and converting back to a byte[] seems  
inefficient  when I can access the byte[] directly.  Not a huge deal  
but it'd be nice to have the byte[] directly available.

Is there an alternate/better method for downloading images?

Thanks,

- Brett K.
