RestRequest.AddFile does not work

[prabirshrestha]

seems like adding file to RestRequest doesn't work.

ResponseStatus is set as Error.

the response.Error message is "Bytes to be written to the stream exceed the Content-Length bytes size specified."

have to update the content length before writing to the the stream.

most likely the changes to Content-Length to work around .NET weren't tested with files and the header isn't being set right. thanks for the report.

[johnsheehan]

try this again with jonfuller's latest changes and tell me if it's still not working

[johnsheehan]

i believe this to be resolved. please test and notify if not.

Problem returned.
In version 105.2.3 (current stable on nuget) with file ~3.5MB in size.

After downgrading to 105.1.0 all works fine.

There is a similar post at StackOverflow (not mine).

I think this is related to another bug #769 and #742 let me get that fixed and we'll see what happens. Something happened with the content length.

[johnn82]

There's any news about this?

[roqz]

bump - seems still to be a problem

[treefitty]

yep, i've got issues with this too, even going back to 105.1.0 hasn't helped

Still not solved.

I am having a similar issue with newer versions of restsharp
when using
req.AddFile("call[picture_attributes][file]", (s) => imageStream.CopyTo(s), GetRandomFileName("jpg"), "image/jpeg");

It doesnt work in newer versions

but if i use
req.AddFile("call[picture_attributes][file]", imageStream.GetBytes(), GetRandomFileName("jpg"), "image/jpeg");

with

    public static byte[] GetBytes(this Stream s)
    {
        using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
        {
            s.CopyTo(ms);
            return ms.ToArray();
        }
    }

it works.

so using a stream by using imageStream.CopyTo doesnt work while sending byte[] works

This was my solution to get around this bug:

var req = GetRestRequest("Upload", Method.POST, null);
//req.AddFile("file",
//    (s) => {
//        var stream = input(imageObject);
//        stream.CopyTo(s);
//        stream.Dispose();
//    },
//    fileName, contentType);

req.Files.Add(new FileParameter {
    Name = "file",
    Writer = (s) => {
        var stream = input(imageObject);
        stream.CopyTo(s);
        stream.Dispose();
    },
    FileName = fileName,
    ContentType = contentType,
    ContentLength = contentLength
});

Is RestRequest.AddFile not ready for .NET Core? I see there is a #if FRAMEWORK compiler directive around the AddFile methods on the interface. I think the @bcabrera workaround could work for my use case but the unit test would be a challenge.

[alexeyzimarev]

There is no version for .NET Core just yet. See open issues to monitor progress.
