c# - Passing parameters using request headers when using Stream -

in wcf service there method uploading image files:

uploadimage(stream imagedata);

edit - answers suggest, next line wrong, , it's possible!

as stream being used, no other parameters allowed method, needed.

i understand there open source projects can handle multi-part stream in can pass more params, thinking request headers might simpler solution.

so i'm wondering might downside of using "request headers" approach in case?

thanks!

not really. should work.

[operationcontract,webinvoke(uritemplate="{name}")] uploadimage(stream imagedata, string name); 

here working sample

async void testmethod() {     task.run(() =>     {         var host = new webservicehost(typeof(mycontract), new uri("http://0.0.0.0:8088/test"));         host.open();     });      await task.delay(2000);      new webclient().uploaddata("http://localhost:8088/test/uploadimage/abc.bmp", new byte[] { 65, 66, 67, 68, 69 }); }   [servicecontract] class mycontract  {     [operationcontract, webinvoke(uritemplate = "/uploadimage/{name}")]     public void uploadimage(stream s, string name)     {         console.writeline(name  +  " -> " + new streamreader(s).readtoend());     } }
