Question

I have the following code which posts file to ASP.net page:

using (var Client = new WebClient())
    Client.UploadFile("http://localhost:1625/Upload.aspx", @"TestFile.csv");

On the server page I read the contents of the request:

        var Contents = new byte[Request.InputStream.Length];
        Request.InputStream.Read(Contents, 0, (int)Request.InputStream.Length);

This is what I get in the contents:

-----------------------8cf2bdc76fe2b40
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="TestFile.csv"
Content-Type: application/octet-stream

1;Test 1
2;Test 2
3;Test 3
4;Test 4
5;Test 5
-----------------------8cf2bdc76fe2b40--

Actual file contents are just 1;Test 1 ... 5;Test 5.
My question is how to get only file contents and not the whole request with headers?

Answer 1

Try this, get the posted file first:

 {
    HttpFileCollection files = Request.Files;
    HttpPostedFile file = files[0];
    int filelength = file.ContentLength;
    byte[] input = new byte[filelength ];
    file.InputStream.Read(input, 0, filelength );

   }
