How to upload files from memorystream? about catbox.net HOT 6 OPEN

You forgot to reset the position of the memory stream :p.

from catbox.net.

Unfortunately even with resetting it back to 0 the same error happens

memoryStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin); or memoryStream.Position = 0;

Which I find very weird

from catbox.net.

Can you post the code when you reset the position to 0 ?

from catbox.net.

  public async Task<string?> UploadImageAsync(Stream memoryStream, string fileName) {
            memoryStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
            return await CatBoxClient.UploadImage(new CatBox.NET.Requests.StreamUploadRequest() {
                Stream = memoryStream,
                FileName = fileName,
                UserHash = UserHash,
            });
        }

Tried both .Position and Seek, also tried instantiating a new memorystream beforehand incase the parameter was making the copy and not persisting on passing it. I must be doing it wrong for sure lol. I have also tried doing it before calling this instead of from within. But console says position is 0 all the time, before calling UploadImageAsync

After digging deeper and losing my mind for a bit, I have finally figured it out. Yes, my code was functional it had nothing to do with the code. Catbox.moe requires you to have a user agent set otherwise it closes the connection. Perhaps it was a recent addition. I solved this by injecting a user agent into the http client. I think the library should be updated to include a user agent by default. I am not sure if it accepts any user agent so you can give it a unique UA, or if it only accepts known ones like chrome, edge, firefox... etc.

But yea, that's how to fix the problem.

I'll look into this soon. If that's the case, maybe it's been a recent addition or change to their API because I haven't seen anything related to setting a user agent in the documentation they have.
