WCF input huge XML as Stream with Content-Type: xml/text
I have a RESTful WCF web service that processes huge XML files that are passed in as a Stream with a Header Content-Type: text/text using a POST method. When a client tries to use this web service with a Header Content-Type: text/xml, they receive a "...contains an unrecognized http body format value 'Xml'. The expected body format value is 'Raw'. This can be because a WebContentTypeMapper has not been configured on the binding" error. I am tasked with making this web service work with a Head开发者_C百科er Content-Type:text/xml as a multitude of clients use this web services with other services and do not want to change the content type just for this service. How do I map the incoming Stream as WebContentFormat.Raw and get this web service to accept the Content-Type:text/xml? Thank you.
I solved this issue by creating a new class that derives from WebContentTypeMapper and changing the WebContentFormat to 'Raw' when the Content-Type = 'text/xml'. Along with this new class, I updated the web.config to use the 'customBinding' element under 'bindings'.
public class XmlContentTypeMapper : WebContentTypeMapper
{
public override WebContentFormat
GetMessageFormatForContentType(string contentType)
{
if (contentType.Contains("text/xml") || contentType.Contains("application/xml"))
{
return WebContentFormat.Raw;
}
else
{
return WebContentFormat.Default;
}
}
}
web.config
<bindings>
<customBinding>
<binding name="XmlMapper">
<webMessageEncoding webContentTypeMapperType="Lt.Trigger.XmlContentTypeMapper, ExService" />
<httpTransport manualAddressing="true" />
</binding>
</customBinding>
</bindings>
