Client found response content type of 'application/pdf', but expected 'text/xml'. The request failed with the error message:

Question

Hi all I have written this code in a web-service http://www.hiqpdf.com/demo/ConvertHtmlToPdf.aspx as follows

[WebMethod]
    public void convert(string strURL)
    {
        HtmlToPdf htmlToPdfConverter = new HtmlToPdf();
        string url = strURL;
        byte[] pdfBuffer = htmlToPdfConverter.ConvertUrlToMemory(url);

        HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/pdf");

        // let the browser know how to open the PDF document, attachment or inline, and the file name
        HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", String.Format("attachment; filename=ConvertHtmlPart.pdf; size={0}",
                    pdfBuffer.Length.ToString()));

        // write the PDF buffer to HTTP response
        HttpContext.Current.Response.BinaryWrite(pdfBuffer);

        // call End() method of HTTP response to stop ASP.NET page processing
        HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
    }

I added this as a reference in my project from my local host but when trying to convert I am getting an exception as Client found response content type of 'application/pdf', but expected 'text/xml'. The request failed with the error message: can some one help me.

try removing the size from the header `HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=ConvertHtmlPart.pdf");` — Flakes, Jan 05 '13 at 08:05
Where is this exception being raised? on which line? I suspect it is on the line: byte[] pdfBuffer = htmlToPdfConverter.ConvertUrlToMemory(url); — Quinton Bernhardt, Jan 05 '13 at 08:44
`Quinton Bernhardt` after response was ended and returned to ` obj.convert(txtUrl.Text.ToString());` exception was raising — Developer, Jan 05 '13 at 09:05
I think this is `HttpContext.Current.Response.End();` causing the exception — Developer, Jan 05 '13 at 10:29
