ASP.NET WebApi 未收到发布数据

Question

I need to receive some string and binary data using WebApi. I have created a controller this way:

    [HttpPost]
    public void Post(byte[] buffer)
    {
        // Some code goes here
    }

Here's the routtings:

    routes.MapHttpRoute(
        name: "CuscarD95B",
        routeTemplate: "D95B/{controller}",
        defaults: new { buffer = RouteParameter.Optional },
        constraints: new { controller = @"Cuscar" }

Now when I try to post some data, buffer is always byte[0] (zero length array). No data is being passed to the controller.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Answer 1

If you are ever struggling with deserializing a body, try and do it manually to see if you are actually sending it correctly.

[HttpPost]
public void Post()
{
    string body = Request.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
}

Answer 2

We passed Json object by HttpPost method, and parse it in dynamic object. it works fine. this is sample code:

ajaxPost:
...
Content-Type: application/json,
data: {"name": "Jack", "age": "12"}
...

Web API:

[HttpPost]
public string DoJson2(dynamic data)
{
    string name = data.name;
    int age = data.age;

    return name;
}

If there is complext object type, you need to parse the dynamic type by using:

JsonConvert.DeserializeObject< YourObjectType >(data.ToString());

A complex data content sample is here, it includes array and dictionary object:

{"AppName":"SamplePrice","AppInstanceID":"100","ProcessGUID":"072af8c3-482a-4b1c‌​-890b-685ce2fcc75d","UserID":"20","UserName":"Jack","NextActivityPerformers":{"39‌​c71004-d822-4c15-9ff2-94ca1068d745":[{"UserID":10,"UserName":"Smith"}]}}

Answer 3

I was able to post a byte[] in my request body, and the value was successfully model bound. Was the content-type set? Note that simple string is considered to be valid JSON here, and so it should work if your request's content-type is set to application/json...

Having said that, you can simply have your POST method that expects a string from the body instead of a byte[] and set the content-type to be application/json:

[HttpPost]
public void Post([FromBody]string buffer)
{
    // Some code goes here
}

Answer 4

我不确定如何将byte[]发送到 webApi，但您可以做的是将二进制数据作为Base64 string传递给您的控制器，然后将base64 string转换为byte[] 。

Answer 5

I found the solution here . Looks like we need to create custom MediaTypeFormatter to achieve primitive type deserialization.

Answer 6

您是否尝试在没有[FromBody]情况下使用 HttpPostedFileBase ？

public void Post(HttpPostedFileBase buffer)

Answer 7

I had a similar situation where I was using a string array and it would always come through null or I would get an exception about an improperly formatted request. I added the annotation [FromUri] in my method parameters then it worked. To give a little more context, my controller method looked like this before:

public async Task<IHttpActionResult> MyControllerName(List<string> id)

After:

public async Task<IHttpActionResult> MyControllerName([FromUri] List<string> id)
