How do you make a Web API self host bind on all network interfaces? I have the below code currently. Unfortunately, it binds only on localhost. So access to this server from other than localhost is failing. var baseAddress = string.Format("http://localhost:9000/"); using (WebApp.Start<Startup> (baseAddress)) { Console.WriteLine("Server started"); Thread.Sleep(1000000); } Just change the base address like this var baseAddress = string.Format("http://*:9000/"); using (WebApp.Start<Startup> (baseAddress)) { Console.WriteLine("Server started"); Thread.Sleep(1000000); } And it should bind

I need to write a method like below to return a text document (.txt, pdf, .doc, .docx etc) While there are good examples of posting file in Web API 2.0 on the web , I couldn't find a relevant one for just downloading one. (I know how to do it in HttpResponseMessage.) public async Task<IHttpActionResult> GetFileAsync(int FileId) { //just returning file part (no other logic needed) } Does the above needs to be async at all? I am only looking to return stream. (Is that okay?) More importantly before I end up doing the job one way or the otther, I wanted to know what's the "right" way of doing

I have a web-app with an AngularJS front-end and a Web Api 2 back-end, and it uses bearer-tokens for authentication. All is well in FireFox & IE, but with Chrome, my initial login request is SOMETIMES pre-flighted. Here's the call from the AngularJS service: $http.post( http://localhost:55483/token , data, { headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' } }).success(function (response) { ... }); The preflight request gets kicked back with an "Allow-Access-Control-Origin" error. However, if I click the Login button again (thereby re-sending the above request) all is well. Any

I upgraded Microsoft.AspNetCore from 2.0.3 to 2.0.5 and my WebAPI project, although running successfully locally, fails to start in production (IIS). Everything was fine in production until this upgrade. The error message produced in the log directory is as follows: Error: An assembly specified in the application dependencies manifest (MyProject.WebAPI.deps.json) was not found: package: 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Abstractions', version: '2.0.2' path: 'lib/netstandard2.0/Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Abstractions.dll' This assembly was expected to be in the local runtime store as the application was

I try to use Swagger with Microsoft WebAPI 2. For the moment, I've the following call in a method. appBuilder .ConfigureOAuth() .UseWebApi(configuration) .UseWelcomePage(); If I want to use Swagger, I must use this url " https://localhost:44300/swagger " which one works very well. I want my home page redirects to the url of my swagger, perhaps as follows but this sample doesn't works. appBuilder ... .UseWelcomePage("/swagger"); Any idea ? I got this working how I wanted by adding a route in RouteConfig.cs like so: public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes) { routes.IgnoreRoute("
