Upload/Download Files Using HttpClient in C#

Upload/Download Files Using HttpClient in C#

In this new post, I show you how to upload/download files using HttpClient in C# and .NET Core. Creating a new version of the Markdown Editor component for Blazor, I face some issues with the file upload. So, I was working to find a solution and now I can tell you how to do it.

First, I will take a look at how to send multipart MIME data to a Web API using HttpClient. We will create two applications to demonstrate the data transfer between the client side and the server side. The server-side app is an ASP.NET Core web project, which includes a Web API controller for uploading and downloading files. The client-side app is a Console project, which contains a Typed HttpClient to send HTTP requests for file uploading and/or downloading.

The full explanetion of the code is in this post on PureSourceCode.

Inquiry Regarding Repository Usage for Efficient Download of Small Files in .NET

0

I am writing to inquire about the suitability of your GitHub repository for a specific use case.

I am interested in using your repository to download multiple small files concurrently. The files I need to download are relatively small, ranging from 2KB to 5.6KB. I anticipate having up to 50 URLs, though typically no more than 15. The frequency of downloads varies throughout the day, with some periods having only 1 or 2 URLs, and occasionally none at all.

The URLs resemble the following examples: http://worldtimeapi.org/Europe/London http://worldtimeapi.org/Europe/Berlin ......

These URLs represent endpoints that provide JSON data, and I need to download them quickly and efficiently, I also have to use Newtonsoft.json to parse the json format string get the necessary information. I plan to implement this functionality in C# using .NET 8.0 and Visual Studio 2022 on Windows 10.

Could you kindly confirm if your repository supports this use case? Additionally, if it does, I would greatly appreciate some general instructions on how to effectively leverage your repository for this purpose.

Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your guidance.
