asp.net mvc - HttpResponseMessage Content won't display PDF -


i have created web api returns httpresponsemessage in content set pdf file. if call web api directly works great , pdf rendered in browser.

response.content = new streamcontent(new filestream(pdflocation, filemode.open, fileaccess.read));         response.content.headers.contenttype = new mediatypeheadervalue("application/pdf");         response.headers.connectionclose = true;         return response;

i have mvc client contact web api, request pdf file render user in same way above.

unfortunately, i'm not sure problem though set the content-type:

response.content.headers.contenttype = new mediatypeheadervalue("application/pdf");

when click on link calls web api, text rendering of httpresponsemessage.

statuscode: 200, reasonphrase: 'ok', version: 1.1, content: system.net.http.streamcontent, headers: { connection: close content-disposition: attachment content-type: application/pdf }

i'm thinking client application missing setting allow render pdf web api does...

any appreciated. thanks

after hours of google searching trial , error, have resolved issue here.

instead of setting content of response streamcontent have changed bytearraycontent on web api side.

byte[] filebytes = system.io.file.readallbytes(pdflocation); response.content = new bytearraycontent(filebytes); response.content.headers.contentdisposition = new contentdispositionheadervalue("attachment"); response.content.headers.contentdisposition.filename = filename; response.content.headers.contenttype = new mediatypeheadervalue("application/pdf");

by doing way, mvc 4 application able download pdf using webclient , downloaddata method.

internal byte[] downloadfile(string requesturl) {     string serverurl = _baseaddress + requesturl;     var client = new system.net.webclient();     client.headers.add("content-type", "application/pdf");     return client.downloaddata(serverurl); }

the byte[] array returned can converted memorystream before returning file output...

response.addheader("content-disposition", "inline; filename="+filename); memorystream outputstream = new memorystream(); outputstream.write(file, 0, file.length); outputstream.position = 0; return file(outputstream, "application/pdf");

i hope can useful others have wasted lot of time working.
