powershell [System.Net.WebRequest] with System.IO.StreamReader in a While Loop
Budget: $15 – $25 AUD
This project is to write a Powershell function that will do a Web request with a GET method to a specified website. The only catch is I want a progress displayed using Write-Host of the progress like "15% Downloaded".
What I figured out is that you need to use [System.Net.WebRequest] and then within a "While" loop use System.IO.StreamReader Read to get each chunk. Within the While Loop you can output the percentage or bytes read or something indicating that you are reading the website contents.
I have attached a few references that show writing using this method, but unfortunatly I don't have the skills to rewrite them:
