Using System.Web.Http.SelfHost etc. how can I send a html page?
Currently, in Google Chrome it comes through as text. I cannot find how to change the header to text/html, and I do not know whether that will fix it.
I have tried a number of variations of the attached without success.
The Episode data comes through to the browser in Google Chrome Browser OK as Json, but in IE it asks whether I want to (O)pen or (S)ave it.
I want to send the html from RAM, not disk.
Error-handling omitted for brevity.
Code as follows :-
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Net.Http.Formatting;
using System.Web.Http;
using System.Web.Http.SelfHost;
namespace Console015
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
HttpSelfHostServer server = null;
using (StreamReader reader01 = new StreamReader("test01.html"))
{
LoginController.sPage = reader01.ReadToEnd();
}
Console.WriteLine(LoginController.sPage);
String sUrl = "http://localhost:8080";
var serverConfig = new HttpSelfHostConfiguration(sUrl);
serverConfig.Formatters.Clear();
serverConfig.Formatters.Insert(0, new JsonMediaTypeFormatter());
serverConfig.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "DefaultApiRoute",
routeTemplate: "endpoints/{controller}",
defaults: null
);
server = new HttpSelfHostServer(serverConfig);
server.OpenAsync().Wait();
Console.WriteLine("Listening At : " + sUrl + "/endpoints/episode");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
public class LoginController : ApiController
{
public static string sPage = string.Empty;
public HttpResponseMessage GetLoginPage()
{
var response = new HttpResponseMessage(System.Net.HttpStatusCode.OK)
{
Content = new StringContent(sPage)
};
Console.WriteLine("Returning Login Page");
return response;
}
}
public class Episode
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string ReleasedOn { get; set; }
}
public class EpisodeController : ApiController
{
public IList<Episode> GetAllEpisodes()
{
return new List<Episode>
{
new Episode {Id = 1, Name = "Episode 1", ReleasedOn = DateTime.Now.AddDays(10).ToShortDateString()},
new Episode {Id = 2, Name = "Episode 2", ReleasedOn = DateTime.Now.AddDays( -5 ).ToShortDateString()},
new Episode {Id = 3, Name = "Episode 3", ReleasedOn = DateTime.Now.AddDays( -3 ).ToShortDateString()},
new Episode {Id = 4, Name = null, ReleasedOn = DateTime.Now.AddDays( 0 ).ToShortDateString()},
};
}
}
}
