I am looking for the correct method to download a PushStreamContent within a Post request.
I have already set up the backend request like this:
private static HttpClient Client { get; } = new HttpClient();
public HttpResponseMessage Get()
{
var filenamesAndUrls = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
{ 'README.md', 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StephenClearyExamples/AsyncDynamicZip/master/README.md' },
{ '.gitignore', 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StephenClearyExamples/AsyncDynamicZip/master/.gitignore'},
};
var result = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK)
{
Content = new PushStreamContent(async (outputStream, httpContext, transportContext) =>
{
using (var zipStream = new ZipOutputStream(outputStream))
{
foreach (var kvp in filenamesAndUrls)
{
zipStream.PutNextEntry(kvp.Key);
using (var stream = await Client.GetStreamAsync(kvp.Value))
await stream.CopyToAsync(zipStream);
}
}
}),
};
result.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/octet-stream");
result.Content.Headers.ContentDisposition = new ContentDispositionHeaderValue("attachment") { FileName = "MyZipfile.zip" };
return result;
}
In the frontend part, I used axios to send a Post request and created a blob from the result to download it (I made modifications to the backend to support Post). However, the download is taking too long and I believe that I am not utilizing PushStreamContent correctly. Perhaps I should consider using EventSource or something similar.
Thank you.
