## HttpContent class


Represents content of an HTTP entity. [Object](../../system/object/) of this class should only be allocated using [System::MakeObject()](../../system/makeobject/) function. Never create instance of this type on stack or using operator new, as it will result in runtime errors and/or assertion faults. Always wrap this class into [System::SmartPtr](../../system/smartptr/) pointer and use this pointer to pass it to functions as argument.

```cpp
class HttpContent : public System::IDisposable
```

| [ReadAsByteArray](./readasbytearray/)() | Serializes content and returns a byte array. |
| [ReadAsStream](./readasstream/)() | Serializes content and returns a stream. |
