Solution 1

I see two options...

1. Read all bytes from the stream into an array than save it using BinaryWriter
2. Use Image.FromStream to create the image in-memory, than save using Image.Save

HttpWebRequest myWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);request.Method = "POST";
myWebRequest .ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
myWebRequest .ContentLength = post_buffer.Length;
Stream request_stream = myWebRequest.GetRequestStream();
request_stream.Write(postBuffer, 0, postBuffer.Length);
request_stream.Close();
postBuffer = null;

//send the request, read the response
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)myWebRequest.GetResponse();
Stream response_stream = response.GetResponseStream();
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(response_stream);
if(bitmap!=null)
{
Encoding encode = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8");
StreamReader read_stream = new StreamReader(response_stream, encode);
}

I have not compiled this solution.Please do not copy paste directly and you have to get response stream then can come to know whether you are getting image as response or something else.
