使用Web API进行大文件上载

Question

I have a winforms application that sends a multipart file to webAPI. It works fine for servers here in the office. But the same isnt working when the server is in UTAH. For small files, it is OK. But not for large files.

Here is the code where we use for uploading:

if (!Request.Content.IsMimeMultipartContent())
            throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.UnsupportedMediaType);

        // Save document to disk
        String rootPath = _repository.Document_AddDirectory(documentID, User);
        FileStreamProvider provider = new FileStreamProvider(_repository, rootPath, documentID, User);

        await Request.Content.ReadAsMultipartAsync(provider)
            .ContinueWith(t =>
            {
                if (t.IsFaulted || t.IsCanceled)
                {
                    throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError);
                }
            });

Answer 1

Here are some web.config settings you might check on your server in Utah that could be the cause of a large file size failing on one server while working on another.

httpRuntime maxRequestLength - The size limit for a request stream. The default is 4096 (4mb).

httpRuntime executionTimeout - The number of seconds before a request is automatically shut down

Answer 2

this has to do with HttpClient. I used a filestreamcontent , which delayed the process. So, I changed to Bytearraycontent and moved all the process to async version.
