ASP.NET Core HttpRequest class has no BinaryRead method

Question

I am working on an ASP.NET Core app, however they don't seem to have ported the entire HttpRequest class into Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc. This method is missing:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.httprequest.binaryread(v=vs.90).aspx

Is there another way to do the same thing? I don't see a similar method to replace it.

Answer 1

You can use a MemoryStream on the Request and retrieve the content of the Body.

Something like:

using (var ms = new MemoryStream(2048))
{
    await Request.Body.CopyToAsync(ms);
    var rawData = ms.ToArray();  
}
