Writing stream obtained from Invoke-RestMethod to image file in PowerShell
I have an Asp.Net web API that can return a stream of an image to the client.
public HttpResponseMessage GetImage(string imageId)
{
...
var response = new HttpResponseMessage();
response.Content = new StreamContent(fileStream);
return response;
}
With the help of a fiddler, I can see that the image was loaded successfully. I want to save it to a local image using PowerShell.
$result = Invoke-RestMethod ...
I got $result
it but don't know how to save it to a local drive, I tried the following ways:
# 1
$result | Out-File ".../test.png"
# 2: this exception said the $result is a string, cannot convert to Stream
$fs = New-Object IO.FileStream "...\test.png","OpenOrCreate","Write"
([System.IO.Stream]($result)).CopyTo($fs)
What's the correct way to save an image to my local machine using PowerShell?
