How To Accept a File POST

Question

I\'m using asp.net mvc 4 webapi beta to build a rest service. I need to be able to accept POSTed images/files from client applications. Is this possible using the webapi?

API Controller :

[HttpPost]
public HttpResponseMessage Post()
{
    var httpRequest = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request;

    if (System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Files.Count < 1)
    {
        //TODO
    }
    else
    {

    try
    { 
        foreach (string file in httpRequest.Files)
        { 
            var postedFile = httpRequest.Files[file];
            BinaryReader binReader = new BinaryReader(postedFile.InputStream);
            byte[] byteArray = binReader.ReadBytes(postedFile.ContentLength);

        }

    }
    catch (System.Exception e)
    {
        //TODO
    }

    return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.Created);
}
