Return HTML from ASP.NET Web API ASP.NET Core 2 and get http status 406
Question
This is a follow-up on Return HTML from ASP.NET Web API .
I followed the instructions but I get Error 406 in the browser. My code:
[Produces("text/html")]
[Route("api/[controller]")]
public class AboutController : Controller
{
[HttpGet]
public string Get()
{
return "<html><body>Welcome</body></html>";
}
...
and, simply:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddMvc();
}
When I remove the Produces line I get the plain text <html><body>Welcome</body></html> in the browser (no error).
What am I missing? Thanks.

Starting with AspNetCore 2.0 , it's recommended to use
ContentResultinstead of theProduceattribute
The solution is:
[HttpGet]
public ContentResult Get()
{
return new ContentResult {
ContentType = "text/html",
StatusCode = (int) HttpStatusCode.OK,
Content = "<html><body>Welcome</body></html>"
};
}
There is no need to change AddMvc (and there is no Produce attribute, of course).
I hope this helps someone.

You need to add Content-Type header to text/html in the request which you are sending while using Produces attribute.
If you are sending through browser then it will work good because browser by default sends Content-type header as text/html
