The application completed without reading the entire request body, .net core 2.1.1

Question

I have created a user register controller to register users with repository design pattern. My controller looks like this.

[Route(\"api/[controller]\")]
             


        

Answer 1

It happened to me in a new ASP.NET Core 2.1 service when debugging in localhost because I had in Startup.Configure:

app.UseHttpsRedirection();

I deactivated this setting when debugging locally:

if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
     app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}
else
{
     app.UseHttpsRedirection();
}

Answer 2

I had the same error (even with "Content-Type: application/json") but adding "{id}" into the action verb worked for me i.e. changing from

    [HttpPatch]
    [ActionName("Index")]
    [Authorize(Policy = "Model")]
    public async Task<JsonResult> Update([FromRoute]int id, int modelId, [FromBody]Device device)

to

    [HttpPatch("{id}")]
    [ActionName("Index")]
    [Authorize(Policy = "Model")]
    public async Task<JsonResult> Update([FromRoute]int id, int modelId, [FromBody]Device device)

(asp.net core 2.1)

Answer 3

Could you try it by adding a request method [Route("jsonbody")]

 [AllowAnonymous]
 [HttpPost("register")]
 [Route("jsonbody")]
    public async Task<IActionResult> Register([FromBody] UserForRegisterDto userForRegisterDto){}

Answer 4

The error info of the application completed without reading the entire request body often occurs when the client send a request that doesn't fulfill the sever requirements . In other words , it happens just before entering the action , resulting that you cannot debug it via a breakpoint within the body of action method .

For example , let's say a action method on the server :

[Route("api/[controller]")]
[ApiController]
public class DummyController : ControllerBase
{
    [HttpPost]
    public DummyDto PostTest([FromBody] DummyDto dto)
    {
        return dto;
    }
}

The DummyDto here is a dummy class to hold information:

public class DummyDto 
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
}

When clients send a request with payload not well formatted

For example , the following post request , which doesn't have a Content-Type: application/json header :

POST https://localhost:44306/api/test HTTP/1.1
Accept : application/json

{ "id":5 }

will result in a similar error info :

Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.Internal.WebHost:Information: Request starting HTTP/1.1 POST http://localhost:44306/api/test  10
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.Internal.WebHost:Information: Request finished in 1.9319ms 404 
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel:Information: Connection id "0HLGH8R93RPUO", Request id "0HLGH8R93RPUO:00000002": the application completed without reading the entire request body.

and the response from the server will be 404:

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Server: Kestrel
X-SourceFiles: =?UTF-8?B?RDpccmVwb3J0XDIwMThcOVw5LTFcU08uQXV0aFJlYWRpbmdXaXRob3V0RW50aXRlQm9keVxBcHBcQXBwXGFwaVx0ZXN0?=

As for the question you described , I suggest you should check the following list :

1. does the Postman send the request with a header of Content-Type: application/json ? make sure you have checked the header
2. If step1 doesn't work , click the code to show what it sends exactly when you send a request to the server .

There can be multiple reasons out of which one can be : – Caching in Visual Studio --

1.Close all the instances of visual studios, run Developer command prompt with Admin rights.
2.git clean -xfd [Your Repository to remove all dependencies and existing soln file]
3.take the latest build and run . [Make Endpoint AllowAnonymous]

Answer 6

I solved it like that. From

namespace AuthenticationService.Controllers
{
    [Route("api/authentication")]
    [ApiController]
    public class AuthenticationController : ControllerBase
    {
        [HttpPost("/token")]
        public IActionResult GenerateToken([FromBody] LoginRest loginRest)
        {

to [Route("api/authentication/")] with an addional /. The slash at[HttpPost("token")] I removed.
