I have a large collection of images stored on a secured server some of which need to be displayed on a world facing portal. The portal's server is inside a DMZ which allows requests in but prevents direct requests from moving through to secured domain. The images are cataloged using SOLR and can be downloaded via an internal (apache?) server from http://intenalname/folderA/folderAB/file.jpg Inside my PhotoController I can create an instance of the WebClient , give it the url and get a MemoryStream . If I attempt to use this memory stream to populate the response.content I get an empty response

I am using token authentication for small project based on this article: http://bitoftech.net/2014/06/09/angularjs-token-authentication-using-asp-net-web-api-2-owin-asp-net-identity/ Everything seems to work fine except one thing: OWIN based token authentication doesn't allow OPTIONS request on /token endpoint. Web API returns 400 Bad Request and whole browser app stops sending POST request to obtain token. I have all CORS enabled in application as in sample project. Below some code that might be relevant: public class Startup { public static OAuthBearerAuthenticationOptions OAuthBearerOptions

I'm trying to access the property fields (JSON) from the child entity that is received from Web API. By looking at the browser console, however, it is showing a reference instead of the fields. How do I get access to these fields? ANGULAR JS VIEW <table infinite-scroll='tF.loadMore()' infinite-scroll-disabled='tF.isBusy' infinite-scroll-distance='3' class="responsive"> <thead> <tr> <th>FIELD 1</th> <th>FIELD 2</th> <th>FIELD 3</th> <th>FIELD 4</th> <th>FIELD 5</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr ng-repeat="item in tF.items | filter:searchFilter"> <td>{{item.CompanyDomainModel.CompanyName}}</td>

I am using this package to integrate Autofac with my WebApi Owin application: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Autofac.WebApi2.Owin And following this post: http://alexmg.com/owin-support-for-the-web-api-2-and-mvc-5-integrations-in-autofac/ My code in Startup.cs looks like this: var config = new HttpConfiguration(); IContainer container = EngineContext.InitializeEngine(); var dependencyResolver = new AutofacWebApiDependencyResolver(container); config.DependencyResolver = dependencyResolver; app.UseAutofacMiddleware(container); app.UseAutofacWebApi(config); WebApiConfig.Register(config); app

I have added the web.config entry to enable gzip compression based on this S/O answer Enable IIS7 gzip . I then checked the Chrome Developer window while loading an ASPX page and saw the header in the response: Cache-Control:private Content-Encoding:gzip Content-Length:3669 Content-Type:text/html; charset=utf-8 Date:Wed, 04 Mar 2015 00:46:05 GMT Server:Microsoft-IIS/7.5 Vary:Accept-Encoding X-AspNet-Version:4.0.30319 X-Powered-By:ASP.NET So that means it's "working", correct? But when looking for that header when making a Web API call, it is not present: Cache-Control:no-cache Content-Length

Have anyone been successful in attaching an IoC with OWIN ASP.NET Identity to share the same DbContext as the WebApi (or MVC) application? I would like that if ASP.Net identity loads the user, it loads in the same dbcontext as used in the rest of the application. (using AutoFac as IoC - but wouldn't mind an example with other container) Edit : 06/Jan/2014: Just to be a bit more specific, when the ASP.Net identity attempts to use a DbContext it needs to be the same DbContext instance as the rest of the application. Otherwise it will create two instances of the same DbContext. I am already using

Most Web API 2.0 methods I've seen return IHttpActionResult , which is defined as an interface that "defines a command that asynchronously creates a System.Net.Http.HttpResponseMessage". I'm a little confused about what's going on when a method is returning async Task<IHttpActionResult> . Why would you use one over the other? Or are these functionally identical - isn't IHttpActionResult already asynchronous? The difference between using IHttpActionResult and async Task<IHttpActionResult> is whether any of your code utilizes the async and await feature. Many libraries like Entity Framework

Is there a way I can use the new IHttpActionResult interface to return a HttpStatusCode.NoContent response message? I am currently using return new HttpResponseMessage( HttpStatusCode.NoContent ); and would like to convert this into return NoContent(); . IHttpActionResult has already got Ok() , Conflict() and NotFound() but I cannot find any for Forbidden() and NoContent() which I need to use in my project. How easy is it to add other result types? Rafael Companhoni There's no convenience method for no-content result because, by default, when a action returns void , the response will have the
