About

The Http Multipart Parser does it exactly what it claims on the tin: parses multipart/form-data. This particular parser is well suited to parsing large data from streams as it doesn't attempt to read the entire stream at once and procudes a set of streams for file data.

Installation

The easiest way to include HttpMultipartParser in your project is by adding the nuget package to your project:

PM> Install-Package HttpMultipartParser

.NET framework suport

  • The parser was built for and tested on .NET 4.8, .NET standard 2.1, .NET 5.0 and .NET 6.0.
  • Version 5.1.0 was the last version that supported .NET 4.6.1, NET 4.7.2 and .NET standard 2.0.
  • Version 2.2.4 was the last version that supported older .NET platforms such as .NET 4.5 and .NET standard 1.3.

Usage

Non-Streaming (Simple, don't use on very large files)

  1. Parse the stream containing the multipart/form-data by invoking MultipartFormDataParser.Parse (or it's asynchronous counterpart MultipartFormDataParser.ParseAsync).
  2. Access the data through the parser.

Streaming (Handles large files)

  1. Create a new StreamingMultipartFormDataParser with the stream containing the multipart/form-data
  2. Set up the ParameterHandler and FileHandler delegates
  3. Call parser.Run() (or it's asynchronous counterpart parser.RunAsync())
  4. The delegates will be called as data streams in.

Examples

Single file

// stream:
-----------------------------41952539122868
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="username"

example
-----------------------------41952539122868
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="email"

[email protected]
-----------------------------41952539122868
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="files[]"; filename="photo1.jpg"
Content-Type: image/jpeg

// ===== Simple Parsing ====
// You can parse synchronously:
var parser = MultipartFormDataParser.Parse(stream);

// Or you can parse asynchronously:
var parser = await MultipartFormDataParser.ParseAsync(stream).ConfigureAwait(false);

// From this point the data is parsed, we can retrieve the
// form data using the GetParameterValue method.
var username = parser.GetParameterValue("username");
var email = parser.GetParameterValue("email")

// Files are stored in a list:
var file = parser.Files.First();
string filename = file.FileName;
Stream data = file.Data;

// ==== Advanced Parsing ====
var parser = new StreamingMultipartFormDataParser(stream);
parser.ParameterHandler += parameter => DoSomethingWithParameter(parameter);
parser.FileHandler += (name, fileName, type, disposition, buffer, bytes, partNumber, additionalProperties) =>
{
    // Write the part of the file we've received to a file stream. (Or do something else)
    filestream.Write(buffer, 0, bytes);
}

// You can parse synchronously:
parser.Run();

// Or you can parse asynchronously:
await parser.RunAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);

// Or you can parse asynchronously:

// From this point the data is parsed, we can retrieve the
// form data from the GetParameterValues method
var checkboxResponses = parser.GetParameterValues("checkbox");
foreach(var parameter in checkboxResponses)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Parameter {0} is {1}", parameter.Name, parameter.Data)

// ==== Advanced Parsing ====

    // we are writing.
    filestreamsByName[name].Write(buffer, 0, bytes);
};

    // Do things when my input stream is closed
};

// You can parse synchronously:

// Or you can parse asynchronously:
await parser.RunAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);
