I need to send an HTTP request as a MultiPartFormData to a REST controller. It was working, but now the check I have on my controller is claiming that the request is not of the correct type, even when I can see in the debugger that the request is on the correct type. For reference:
Here's the console app code that is calling it:
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Net.Http.Headers;
using System.Text;
namespace QuickUploadTestHarness
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (var client = new HttpClient())
using (var content = new MultipartFormDataContent())
{
// Make sure to change API address
client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost");
// Add first file content
var fileContent1 = new ByteArrayContent(File.ReadAllBytes(@"C:\<filepath>\test.txt"));
fileContent1.Headers.ContentDisposition = new ContentDispositionHeaderValue("attachment")
{
FileName = "testData.txt"
};
//Add Second file content
var fileContent2 = new ByteArrayContent(File.ReadAllBytes(@"C:\<filepath>\test.txt"));
fileContent2.Headers.ContentDisposition = new ContentDispositionHeaderValue("attachment")
{
FileName = "Sample.txt"
};
content.Add(fileContent1);
content.Add(fileContent2);
// Make a call to Web API
var result = client.PostAsync("/secret/endpoint/relevant/bits/here/", content).Result;
Console.WriteLine(result.StatusCode);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
}
How is it possible that it's being interpreted as not MultiPartFormData? Note the "using MultiPartFormDataContent" for the request
