如何测试将输入作为来自REST客户端工具的流的WCF服务方法

Question

I am creating wcf service that accepts stream as a input parameter.

Here is my method in Contract

 [OperationContract(Name = "PostSampleMethod")]
        [WebInvoke(Method = "POST",
         UriTemplate = "PostSampleMethod")]

        string PostSampleMethod(Stream data);

And here is the implementation of it

 public string PostSampleMethod(Stream data)
        {
            // convert Stream Data to StreamReader
            StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(data);
            // Read StreamReader data as string
            string xmlString = reader.ReadToEnd();
            string returnValue = xmlString;
            // return the XMLString data
            return returnValue;
        }

I am using ARC or Boomerang tool to test my service's method. My problem is what input data or in what format I need to send from REST client tool to test this method.

Any help is much appreciated.

Since you read the incoming stream as string( by using StreamReader ), you can send any string(xml, json, free format) to your server.

var client = new HttpClient();
var content = new StringContent("aaaa");
var resp = await client.PostAsync("http://....../PostSampleMethod", content);
var status = resp.StatusCode;
var retValue = await resp.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
