Is it safe to return a Stream in WebAPI?
My WebAPI needs to return a Stream.
using (var stream = new MemoryStream())
{
//Fill the Stream
stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
return new OkObjectResult(stream);
}
The above would not work as stream is disposed before the Client can get it. So I simply changed it to:
var stream = new MemoryStream();
//Fill the Stream
stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
return new OkObjectResult(stream);
I wonder if it is safe to return a stream from a WebAPI. My doubt is that the garbage collector could dispose stream before the client has finished to get/download the content.
