I need to access binary image data using XMLHttpRequest
in Delphi. I am using the following code but its not working, could someone please tell me what's wrong with this code, thanks in advance.
//I am using this function to get Image Binary data into Memory Stream.
procedure SendGETRequest(p_Url: string; p_resStream: TMemoryStream);
begin
FXmlHttpReq.open(METHOD_GET, p_Url, false, FUsername, FPassword);
FXmlHttpReq.setRequestHeader(HTTP_AUTHENTICATION, HTTP_BASIC + EncodeBase64(
FUsername + ':'+FPassword));
FXmlHttpReq.setRequestHeader(HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL, HTTP_NO_CACHE);
//FXmlHttpReq.setRequestHeader('Content-type','application/octet-stream');
FXmlHttpReq.send('');
if not VarIsEmpty(FXmlHttpReq.responseBody) then
begin
p_resStream:= OleVariantToMemoryStream(FXmlHttpReq.responseStream);
end;//if...
end;
function OleVariantToMemoryStream(OV: OleVariant): TMemoryStream;
var
Data: PByteArray;
Size: integer;
begin
Result := TMemoryStream.Create;
try
Size := VarArrayHighBound (OV, 1) - VarArrayLowBound(OV, 1) + 1;
Data := VarArrayLock(OV);
try
Result.Position := 0;
Result.WriteBuffer(Data^, Size);
finally
VarArrayUnlock(OV);
end;
except
Result.Free;
Result := nil;
end;
end;
responseStream
is IStream
. You need to convert it using TOleStream
(AxCtrls
):
uses AxCtrls, ComObj, ActiveX;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
oXMLHTTP: OleVariant;
MemoryStream: TMemoryStream;
Stream: IStream;
OleStream: TOleStream;
begin
oXMLHTTP := CreateOleObject('MSXML2.XMLHTTP.3.0');
oXMLHTTP.open('GET', 'https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo11w.png', False);
oXMLHTTP.send(EmptyParam);
Stream := IUnknown(oXMLHTTP.ResponseStream) as IStream;
OleStream := TOleStream.Create(Stream);
try
OleStream.Position := 0;
MemoryStream := TMemoryStream.Create;
try
MemoryStream.CopyFrom(OleStream, OleStream.Size);
MemoryStream.SaveToFile('logo11w.png');
finally
MemoryStream.Free;
end;
finally
OleStream.Free;
end;
end;
