public interface IMessageReader

Summary

Interface for analyzing application messages.

Remarks

Subinterfaces provide specialized data-reading methods. This base interface deals with the lowest common denominator: bytes, with no special encodings for higher-level objects.

Property Summary

Type	Name	Summary
`byte[]`	`BodyBytes` (r)	Retrieve the message body, as a byte array.
`Stream`	`BodyStream` (r)	Retrieve the Stream being used to read from the message body.
`IDictionary`	`Headers` (r)	Retrieves the content header properties of the message being read.

Method Summary

Name	Summary
`int RawRead(byte[] target, int offset, int length)`	Read bytes from the body stream into a section of an existing byte array, without encoding or interpretation. Returns the number of bytes read from the body and written into the target array, which may be less than the number requested if the end-of-stream is reached.
`int RawRead()`	Read a single byte from the body stream, without encoding or interpretation. Returns -1 for end-of-stream.
