How to stream with ASP.NET Core

Question

How to properly stream response in ASP.NET Core? There is a controller like this (UPDATED CODE):

[HttpGet(\"test\")]
public async Task GetT         


        

Answer 1

I was wondering as well how to do this, and have found out that the original question's code actually works OK on ASP.NET Core 2.1.0-rc1-final, neither Chrome (and few other browsers) nor JavaScript application do not fail with such endpoint.

Minor things I would like to add are just set StatusCode and close the response Stream to make the response fulfilled:

[HttpGet("test")]
public void Test()
{
    Response.StatusCode = 200;
    Response.ContentType = "text/plain";
    using (Response.Body)
    {
        using (var sw = new StreamWriter(Response.Body))
        {
            sw.Write("Hi there!");
        }
    }
}
