I am trying to use C# minimal API to develop a WOPI API for office online and on returning file to client i am always getting this error messages:
"Timeout are not supported on this stream".
I am using 'application/octet-stream' HTTP Header.
As you may know it is not possible for JsonSerializer to serialize a stream to return it as response, you have to load your file into byte[] afterward you put it in response body using code like this:
FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo(filePath);
FileStream fs = fileInfo.OpenRead();
byte[] content = fs.ReadBytesAsync();
and then in returning part:
httpContext.Response.ContentType = MediaTypeNames.Application.Octet;
return HttpContext.Response.Body.Write(content,0,content.Lenght)
of course second part of code should take place in an extension method for Result.Extension somthing like this:
static class FileResultExtension
{
public static IResult File(this IResultExtensions resultExtensions, byte[] fileResult)
{
ArgumentNullException.ThrowIfNull(resultExtensions);
return new FileResult(fileResult);
}
}
class FileResult : IResult
{
private readonly byte[] _fileResult;
public FileResult(byte[] fileResult)
{
_fileResult = fileResult;
}
public Task ExecuteAsync(HttpContext httpContext)
{
httpContext.Response.ContentType = MediaTypeNames.Application.Octet;
return httpContext.Response.Body.WriteAsync(_fileResult,0,_fileResult.Length);
}
}
and use it in Program.cs like this:
app.MapGet("/wopi/files/{id}/contents", (FilesService fileService, string id) =>
{
var result = fileService.GetFile(id).Result;
MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
memoryStream.Write(result, 0, result.Length);
return Results.Extensions.File(result);
}).WithName("GetFile");
