I am using HttpPostedFileBase to upload a file using ASP.NET MVC. I need to post this to a API call and i am getting a error "StatusCode: 403, Reason Phrase: 'Forbidden', Version: 1.1, Content: System.Net.Http.StreamContent". This is because i am passing file content as "application/octet-stream", where as API call wants the content type as "application/vnd.qlik.sense.app". Many posts in internet says that HttpPostedFileBase is a read only and we cannot change the content type. Can anybody let me know how we can change the content type of HttpPostedFileBase. Is this possible??

The "What I Tried" section should show the code you tried (if you tried anything at all). It's NOT supposed to be a repeat of your question.

Have you tried adding application/vnd.qlik.sense.app as a mime type in your web.config file? Something like this:

XML

<System.webServer>
    <staticContent>
        <remove fileExtension=".sense.app" />
        <mimeMap fileExtension=".sense.app" mimeType="qlik_sense_app" />
    </staticContent>
</system.webServer>

You may have to remove ".sense" from the fileExtension attribute, because I don't now right off hand if that format is usable by IIS.
