SCENARIO:
First of all, please consider I'm using HttpClient
class, not WebRequest
, I know that there is a lot of related question here but all answers are for WebRequest.
I made a Web Api Application that set in this way the following header in order to download a .txt file:
resp.Content = new StringContent(result, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8, "text/plain");
resp.Content.Headers.ContentDisposition = new System.Net.Http.Headers.ContentDispositionHeaderValue("attachment")
{
FileName = _datacontext.GetAppConfig("814FileNameHeader") + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMdd") + ".txt"
};
resp.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/octet-stream");
After I made an HttpClient from other application to connect to this method.
Everything is working, retrieves 200 and the content of the file. But I can't get the header in order to read the filename.
TRIES MADE:
Working with a REST Client I can read the following header attribute:
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=814Entes_PG_20160114.txt
and from the code I could debug it and I found that the header is in "invalidHeaders" but I can't reach the value:
QUESTION:
How can I set up this and getting without any doubt from the client?
UPDATE:
These are my tries to get the header: The original:
using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
{
httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri(uri);
string authentication = string.Concat(authenticationArgs[0], ":", authenticationArgs[1]);
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.TryAddWithoutValidation("Authorization", "Basic " + Base64Encode(authentication));
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
HttpRequestMessage req = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, "Report/" + type);
req.Content = new StringContent("");
HttpResponseMessage response = await httpClient.SendAsync(req);
Console.WriteLine(response.StatusCode);
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
string stream = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
Console.Write("Respuesta servicio: " + stream);
Console.WriteLine(stream);
string cp = response.Headers.GetValues("Content-Disposition").ToString();
}
The second one I tried with some SO investigation:
using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
{
httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri(uri);
string authentication = string.Concat(authenticationArgs[0], ":", authenticationArgs[1]);
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.TryAddWithoutValidation("Authorization", "Basic " + Base64Encode(authentication));
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
HttpRequestMessage req = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, "Report/" + type);
req.Content = new StringContent("");
HttpResponseMessage response = await httpClient.SendAsync(req);
Console.WriteLine(response.StatusCode);
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
string stream = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
Console.Write("Respuesta servicio: " + stream);
Console.WriteLine(stream);
string cp = "";
HttpHeaders headers = response.Headers;
IEnumerable<string> values;
if (headers.TryGetValues("Content-Disposition", out values))
{
cp = values.ToString();
}
}
If you are trying to get the headers of the content, it should be from response.Content.Headers
