Stream a file larger than 2GB about webdavclient HOT 5 CLOSED

@gdgudmundson it looks like a bug in the library.

Currently, if you download a file using WebDavClient it tries to load it fully into memory instead of actually streaming it.

It can be fixed by adding HttpCompletionOption.ResponseHeadersRead to a request that is made by the underlying HttpClient but it requires additional changes to API to make response of GetRawFile and GetProcessedFile disposable.

I plan to fix it and release a new version of the library soon.

Another thing to consider is the ContentLength property on the WebDavResource class is an integer which only allows for 2GB file. It would need to be a long to support larger files.

I look forward to a new version.

Thanks!

Yeah, nice catch!

I have implemented a fix and released a new version to NuGet.

Any chance to make this an option in GetFileParameters so we can decide what HttpCompletionOption to use? In my use-case I am loading the stream into memory anyways and in order to call the Length or Position properties on the returned Stream from HttpClient, the HttpCompletionOption needs to be ResponseContentRead
