How do I post simple JSON data with a file upload?

I'm trying to set up a file upload request in a ServiceStack TypeScript client that also includes the month for which the file is relevant. How do I set up the request so that both come through to the server?
I've tried various changes, including manually changing headers to try to force Content-Type to be application/json, which didn't work (but I suspect would break the file upload even if it did).
Client-side API:
export const serviceApi = {
importData: (month: string, file: File) => {
var client = new JsonServiceClient("");
var request = new DTOs.ImportData();
// At this point, the month has a value
request.month = month.replace('/', '-').trim();
let formData = new FormData();
formData.append('description', file.name);
formData.append('type', 'file');
formData.append('file', file);
const promise = client.postBody(request, formData);
return from(promise);
},
};
DTO definition:
[Route("/api/data/import/{Month}", "POST")]
public class ImportData : IReturn<ImportDataResponse>
{
public string Month { get; set; }
}
public class ImportDataResponse : IHasResponseStatus
{
public ResponseStatus ResponseStatus { get; set; }
}
Server-side API:
[Authenticate]
public object Post(ImportData request)
{
if (Request.Files == null || Request.Files.Length <= 0)
{
throw new Exception("No import file was received by the server");
}
// This is always coming through as null
if (request.Month == null)
{
throw new Exception("No month was received by the server");
}
var file = (HttpFile)Request.Files[0];
var month = request.Month.Replace('-', '/');
ImportData(month, file);
return new ImportDataResponse();
}
I can see that the file is coming through correctly on the server side, and I can see an HTTP request going through with the month set in the query string parameters as "07-2019", but when I break in the server-side API function, the month property of the request is null.
Update, here are the HTTP Request/Response headers:

You'll be able to upload a file using JavaScript's fetch API directly, e.g:
let formData = new FormData();
formData.append('description', file.name);
formData.append('type', 'file');
formData.append('file', file);
fetch('/api/data/import/07-2019', {
method: 'POST',
body: formData
});
Otherwise if you want to use ServiceStack's TypeScript JsonServiceClient you would need to use the API that lets you post the Request DTO with a separate request body, e.g:
formData.append('month', '07-2019');
client.postBody(new ImportData(), formData);

I don't think the month should be part of the request header, that's kinda unorthodox. It should be part of the form data.
If you did:
formData.append('Month', month.replace('/', '-').trim());
client side, then request.Month or request.content.Month should work, depending on how the request object is handled in your instance.

HttpClient Post to API without [FromBody]

I'm looking to send complex objects to my .NET Core API without FromBody tags.
What I am looking to do is simple with JQuery, but I can't figure out for the life of me how to duplicate the logic from a C# Web API Client.
For the sake of testing, I have a fairly simple object.
[Serializable]
public class FilterModel
{
public int? PageSize { get; set; }
public int Page { get; set; }
}
For the sake of testing, we also have an extremely simple controller method
[HttpPost("TEST")]
public virtual int GetTEST(Common.FilterModel filter, Common.FilterModel filter2)
{
return ((filter.Page * filter.PageSize ?? 0) + (filter2.Page * filter2.PageSize ?? 0));
}
Obviously the use case for the code would me more complex, but I am just trying to get the values at this time.
The JQuery to call this method is fairly straight forward and works flawlessly:
var myData = {"filter":{"pageSize":3,"page":2},
"filter2":{"pageSize":19,"page":1}};
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/api/Authentication/TEST',
data: myData
}).done(function (data, statusText, xhdr) {
JsonResponse = data;
console.log(data);
}).fail(function (xhdr, statusText, errorText) {
//console.log(JSON.stringify(xhdr));
});
But trying to duplicate that logic from an HttpClient results in 0; the model is always empty when received on the API side. I've tried a few different methods, from JSON Serializing an ArrayList/Dictionary to what I'm adding below, but I'm hitting a dead end unsure where I went wrong.
HttpClient client = new HttpClient
{
BaseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:65447/")
};
ApiCommon.FilterModel filter = new ApiCommon.FilterModel()
{
PageSize = 10,
Page = 1
};
ApiCommon.FilterModel filter2 = new ApiCommon.FilterModel()
{
PageSize = 9,
Page = 41
};
MultipartFormDataContent mpContent = new MultipartFormDataContent();
StringContent content = new StringContent(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(filter));
content.Headers.ContentType = new System.Net.Http.Headers.MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json");
mpContent.Add(content, "filter");
content = new StringContent(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(filter2));
content.Headers.ContentType = new System.Net.Http.Headers.MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json");
mpContent.Add(content, "filter2");
var retval =
JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<int>(
client.PostAsync("/api/Authentication/TEST", mpContent)
.Result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result);
Console.WriteLine(retval);
Is there any way to imitate the JQuery call to work through an HttpClient? Am I missing something critical here?
EDIT:
After getting fiddler to pick it up, this is the raw data for each, I am going to try to match this with my changes.

SignalR - Works when deployed to Server, but stops after a few hours (MVC)

EDIT: Look at the bottom of this post for updates.
My SignalR implementation works perfectly on my local system. But when I deployed it out to my server it doesnt seem to work. Its an MVC project.
My signalR jQuery is as follows:
var clientHub = $.connection.gamehub;
$(function () {
var signalRHubInitialized = false;
var image = $("#Ico");
var count = 0;
initializeSignalRHubStore();
function initializeSignalRHubStore() {
if (signalRHubInitialized)
return;
try {
clientHub.client.broadcastMessage = function (message) {
if (message === "Refresh")
reloadIndexPartial();
};
$.connection.hub.start().done(function () {
clientHub.server.initialize($("#NotifierEntity").val());
signalRHubInitialized = true;
});
} catch (err) {
signalRHubInitialized = false;
}
};
function reloadIndexPartial() {
//$.post('#(Url.Action("LivePartial", "Scrim", null, Request.Url.Scheme))')
var id = $("#SeriesDetail_Id").val();
$.post('/Scrim/LivePartial/' + id)
.done(function (response) {
try {
count = count + 1;
var favicon = new Favico({
animation: 'pop',
image: image
});
favicon.badge(count);
}
catch (exception) {
}
$("#summary-wrapper").html("");
$("#summary-wrapper").html(response);
if (!signalRHubInitialized)
initializeSignalRHubStore();
});
};
});
I downloaded Fiddler to see what was going on:

I have added this to my web config:
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"></modules>
Looking through all the responses it seems that everything is working correctly but the page Im on is not being updated when a new entry has been added to the database.
On my local development system my project is set up using IIS it works flawlessly.
Could anyone point me in the right direction please.
EDIT: I have got it working on the server now. But it seems that it works right after it has been deployed for a few hours. Then after that it seems to stop working. So I have to assume that the signalr connection is being disposed at some stage and now getting reinstated?
Here is my RegisterServices class:
private static IContainer RegisterServices(ContainerBuilder builder)
{
builder.RegisterControllers(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
builder.RegisterApiControllers(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
builder.RegisterType<ContextEntities>()
.As<DbContext>()
.InstancePerRequest();
builder.RegisterType<DbFactory>()
.As<IDbFactory>()
.InstancePerRequest();
builder.RegisterType<UnitOfWork>()
.As<IUnitOfWork>()
.InstancePerRequest();
// Services
builder.RegisterType<MembershipService>()
.As<IMembershipService>()
.InstancePerRequest();
builder.RegisterType<CacheService>()
.As<ICacheService>()
.InstancePerRequest();
builder.RegisterType<GameHub>().ExternallyOwned();
Container = builder.Build();
return Container;
}
Here is a page where signalr is used: http://halodatahive.com/Scrim/Live/2845
I seem to be losing reference to the signalr connection after a few hours after a deployment.
EDIT: If I recycle my APP POOL the page with signalR starts working again.

This is what I ended up using to resolve the issue. It seems that after around 1 hour it was getting disconnected some how. I put this code in a few hours ago and it still seems to be working. Thanks to #Noren for all their help in chat earlier!
EDIT: This did not seem to solve the problem unfortunately.
$.connection.hub.disconnected(function() {
setTimeout(function() {
$.connection.hub.start();
}, 5000); // Restart connection after 5 seconds.
});
EDIT: Thought I would give an update as to how I got this working. Instead of using SqlDependency to trigger the SignalR I just called Clients.All.broadcastMessage("Refresh"); on the scheduled task I have running on the server when _unitOfWork.Commit() was called.
Something was causing SqlDependency to stop working and the only way to get it to pick it up again was to recycle the app pool.

I've seen something like this before. In my case it was RabbitMQ events that were lost because IIS was spinning down the application.
Is your application is not being hit very frequently? IIS has a tendency to spin down applications that it doesn't think it needs in order to save resources. That might be why it only stops working after a few hours and you can recycle to bring it back up.

NotFound() returns 200 instead of 404

I've been stuck on this recently and can't figure out why this is happening.
I'm using an MVC Controller in .Net Core to return a NotFound() "404" response.
However, client side (using angular) if I console.log the response, it shows this...
status:200
statusText:"OK"
Is there any reason why returning NotFound() would return an error code of 200 instead of the intended 404?
This is my Controller GET.
// GET: api/cause/cause-name
[HttpGet("{name}")]
[AllowAnonymous]
public IActionResult GetCauseByName(string name)
{
var input = _service.GetCauseByName(name);
if (input == null)
{
return NotFound();
}
else
{
return Ok(input);
}
}
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
To be clear, for this instance assume input is null. What I'm testing is it hitting NotFound() not the return OK(input). Breakpoints have been set and it does hit the NotFound() but still returns the response code of 200.

I have asked a similar question and received some kind of answer... NotFound() doesn't seem to work as expected
The solution Redirect("~/404.html"); returns 200.
However, there's another way.
// Wherever you want to return your standard 404 page
return Redirect("Home/StatusCode?code=404");
public class HomeController : Controller
{
// This method allows for other status codes as well
public IActionResult StatusCode(int? code)
{
// This method is invoked by Startup.cs >>> app.UseStatusCodePagesWithReExecute("/Home/StatusCode", "?code={0}");
if (code.HasValue)
{
// here is the trick
this.HttpContext.Response.StatusCode = code.Value;
}
//return a static file.
try
{
return File("~/" + code + ".html", "text/html");
}
catch (FileNotFoundException)
{
return Redirect("Home/StatusCode?code=404");
}
}
}
This does return 404.

AngularJS $http.get() cannot handle 401 status returned by the server

I'm trying to send and $http.get() request and authenticate it in the server side (WebApi)
$http.get(config.remoteServiceUrl + "api/account", {
headers:
{
'Authorization': 'Basic ' + encoded,
'Content-Type': "application/json"
},
params:
{
'email': credentials.Email
}
}).then(
//Success
function (data, status) {
setCredentials(credentials.Email, credentials.Password);
service.user.email = credentials.Email;
loggedin = true;
result.data = data;
result.status = status;
deferred.resolve(result);
},
//Error
function (data, status) {
result.data = data;
result.status = status;
deferred.reject(result);
}
);
for every unauthorized request the server should return a 401 status
HttpResponseMessage reply = request.CreateErrorResponse(HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized, "Invalid Username or Password");
return Task.FromResult(reply);
but when i check the response in the client side the status is always empty instead of the 401 status.
below is the request being sent
Request URL:http://127.0.0.1:81/api/account?email=login#yahoo.com

when i check the request status after the call in the chrome debugger network tab is says
GET (Cancelled)
Anyone knows why this is happening?
It works correctly when a proper authorization is passed
