I am using WebAPI for downloading a .pdf file like this:
[HttpGet]
public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> DownloadFile(string id, bool attachment = true)
{
HttpResponseMessage result = null;
try
{
MyService service = new MyService();
var bytes = await service.DownloadFileAsync(id);
if (bytes != null)
{
result = GetBinaryFile(personalDocument, string.Format("{0}.pdf", id), attachment);
}
else
{
result = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.NotFound);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new HttpResponseException(new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest) { ReasonPhrase = "ServerError" });
}
return result;
}
private HttpResponseMessage GetBinaryFile(byte[] bytes, string fileName, bool attachment)
{
HttpResponseMessage result = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);
// result.Content = new ByteArrayContent(bytes);
result.Content = new StreamContent(new System.IO.MemoryStream(bytes));
//result.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/octet-stream");
result.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/pdf");
result.Content.Headers.ContentDisposition = new ContentDispositionHeaderValue("inline");
if (attachment)
{
result.Content.Headers.ContentDisposition = new ContentDispositionHeaderValue("attachment");
}
result.Content.Headers.ContentDisposition.FileName = fileName;
result.Content.Headers.ContentLength = bytes.Length;
return result;
}
now, i see that it frozen my site, so i want to change that, and download a pdf file via handler, it's possible to route to IHttpHandler with any changes by client side? by Route attribute?
