I want to return an image from WebApi endpoint. This is my method:
[System.Web.Http.HttpGet]
public HttpResponseMessage GetAttachment(string id)
{
string dirPath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(Constants.ATTACHMENT_FOLDER);
string path = string.Format($"{dirPath}\\{id}.jpg");
try
{
HttpResponseMessage result = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);
var stream = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
var content = new StreamContent(stream);
result.Content = content;
result.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/octet-stream");
result.Content.Headers.ContentDisposition = new ContentDispositionHeaderValue("attachment") { FileName = Path.GetFileName(path) };
return result;
}
catch (FileNotFoundException ex)
{
_log.Warn($"Image {path} was not found on the server.");
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.NotFound, "Invalid image ID");
}
}
Unfortunately, the file that is downloaded is incomplete. The message in consuming Android app is:
java.io.EOFException: source exhausted prematurely
