Hi, `FileAppender` has a vritual overload for the Method `SetQWForFiles` that takes a `Stream` and creates a StreamWriter from it. According to the API documentation """ This method can be overridden by sub classes that want to wrap the <see cref="Stream"/> in some way, for example to encrypt the output data using a <c>System.Security.Cryptography.CryptoStream</c>. """
Unfortunately, it doesn't get called. Instead it is inlined in `OpenFile`, so derived classes have no chance in wrapping the stream before it is passed to the writer. This trivial patch changes this. ---------------------8<--------------8<----------------- --- C:/temp/FileAppender.cs-revBASE.svn003.tmp.cs Sat Aug 13 18:57:44 2016 +++ C:/Users/BAEHR/Documents/log4net-trunk/src/Appender/FileAppender.cs Mon Aug 22 11:59:41 2016 @@ -1382 +1382 @@ namespace log4net.Appender - SetQWForFiles(new StreamWriter(m_stream, m_encoding)); + SetQWForFiles(m_stream); ---------------------8<--------------8<----------------- Best Regards, Jonas
