I am dealing with a third-party API which insists on a binary File Upload request being formatted without a Content-Type
header value of multipart/form-data
, and with the following headers:
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Disposition: filename*=UTF-8''file.zip
HttpRequestMessage
and HttpContent.Headers.ContentDisposition.DispositionType
won't allow me to achieve this either because I can't set the values as desired or they set them automatically.
I accept that this API may not be following HTTP Standards but it's not mine and I have no influence over it.
using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
{
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.ExpectContinue = false;
FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"e:\dev\TestHalfB.docx", FileMode.Open);
HttpRequestMessage req = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, <Uri>);
HttpContent fc = new StreamContent(fs);
var mpContent = new MultipartFormDataContent();
mpContent.Add(fc);
fc.Headers.ContentType = MediaTypeHeaderValue.Parse("application/octet-stream");
req.Content = fc;
fc.Headers.ContentDisposition.DispositionType = "filename*=UTF-8''TestHalfB.docx";
using (var response = await client.SendAsync(req))
{
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
var resp = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
}
fs.Close();
}
Does anyone know of a lower level API I could use or have any suggestions?
So the crux is how can I set the Content-Disposition
header to the value I desire.
I had to switch to using WebRequest
.
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("https://cloud.memsource.com/web/api2/v1/projects/{id}/jobs?token={token}");
request.Method = "POST";
byte[] byteArray = File.ReadAllBytes(@"E:\Dev\TestHalfB.docx");
request.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
request.Headers.Add("Content-Disposition", "filename*=UTF-8''TestHalfB.docx");
Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream();
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
dataStream.Close();
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
((HttpWebResponse)response).StatusDescription.Dump();
